Excel 2007 VBA -- re-open problem

Hi,
 
I am evaluating your serial port control, and it looks like it could work well for the data acquisition project that I am working on. However, there are some things that I am encountering that don't make sense to me. One of these problems has to do with opening and closing a serial port. Here is one of the problems I am having:
 
I have placed the control on a UserForm in my Excel 2007 document / VBA project. It is named FTSPCControl1 and has serial port options pre-configured (in IDE). The UserForm also has controls for adjusting the serial port control's settings, closing a port, and opening a port. The first time I open a port (whether using AutoOpen property or using button on UserForm to call Open method), the evaluation message appears and then the port seems to open OK. However, if I then close the port and open it again, the evaluation screen re-appears OK, but then I encounter an error which states, "Run-time error '-2147352567 (80020009)': Method "Open"". I believe this is happening because the port is still open even though the Close method has been called and the IsOpened property reads false. (e.g. if I change to another available port, like COM7, while debugging this error then it continues OK)
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello Jay,
 
Could you please make a small demo application using VBA Excel 2007 and send it to us so we can reproduce the issue and see what's wrong? Please send it to <support@fabulatech.com>
 
And what is the version of Serial Port Control. Do you have the latest version?

I've sent you a demo file, and I believe I am running the latest version. How do you want me to verify this? Properties of ftspcax.dll and ftspcnet.dll state File Version and Product Version of 2.1.6.0 and date modified 2/23/2010.

I thought I mentioned this earlier, but apparently I didn't. The operating system in this case is Windows Vista x64. I have not tested this on a 32-bit system.

Jay, did you manage to download Portmon and make the log I asked you about?
