How fast can I push the serial port using LabVIEW?

Hi, I'm trying to communicate to my device using the LabVIEW example code. I am using the RS232 serial port and I am able to communicate with it when running at 115200 baud on Hyperterminal. However I don't get anything when using the LabVIEW VI. If I set the baud rate to 38400 I get a pattern returned but as it is not the correct baud rate it is not the correct.

Is there a limit on hoe fast serial transfers can be done using LabVIEW?

Any suggestions or code would be much appreciated!

There should be no problem getting your port to communicate at 115200 baud using LabVIEW.
LabVIEW probably defaults to different values than Hyperterm does for other settings that can affect your communication like flow control, parity, etc.; make sure you have your setup correct.
