RS232

[JS]

How can I simply open and close the RS232 under VBA? I have
writen a program that prints out some labels and it
functions good, but only if the RS232 is opened and closed
before by another program. I use the open com1.... command
but it doesnt help.

Under VB6 its easy to open and cloe because then you have
the mscomm32.ocx, but how is it done with VBA?

thanks a lot for helping

Why not just use mscomm - just add add it in under tools-references

sorry but I didnt use "add under tools reference" yet. Do
mean the addin-Manager? How is it done?

As far as I know is the mscomm not licenced with VBA only
with VB6 is that correct?

In my Office Professional 2002 there is no mscomm.ocx or
dont I need this file.

I dont want to get into trouble with the Licence.

Thank a lot for helping
