Yesterday I was troubleshooting an application that was migrated to Citrix XenApp.

The application is able to use a high precision scale which is attached to the client pc’s com port. This com port is redirected to XenApp.

While testing users reported several issues, let’s have a look at them.

Error configuring COM Port
Within the application the comport to which the scale is connected must be configured:

After pressing "Registreer" to register the new com port the following error message was shown

    My sheet contained about 150 Comboboxes, so obviously I was going to do this using a script. I couldn’t find anything useful with Google so I wrote my own Macro.
