Hi Interesting one this.
I have an external piece of equipment that I need to access through the comm
port. This can be done through Hyperterminal etc. What I need is to find out
if I can get access to the comms port via VBA, is there a third party control
etc. so I can talk directly to the external unit via code.
Second is it fiesable to access tcpip, like winsock through a control in vba?

well hopefully there are many out there that have done this and I will get
loads of answers. O I do know it can be done through full VB but am trying to
keep things contained.

Thanks for your time

MsComm is Microsoft ActiveX allowing you to communicate with COM port. You
can use googlel to search for MsComm
