HTM or text can be sent as ASCII, which is probably the default mode, but when youre sending pictures, music or exe's you need to use binary transfer. I dont know about the MSComm control, but its probably got a transfer moce property you can set.....

Transferring binary data over the mscomm control is very tricky, and unreliable. I suggest you use Base64 encoding to transfer binary data, like you do with email attachments. There are several free libraries for VB to accomplish the encoding/decoding process.
