I am trying to automate the way CNC code is sent to a CNC Machine via Hyperterminal. Currently in order to transfer a cnc program one needs to open a .ht file with hyperterminal, and do a send text file to host.
Here is how I decided to automate it. The CNC code is resident in a memo field on an Access Form. At the click of a button, code is copied to memory and machine.ht (hyperterminal connection is opened and ready to go) . The last operation - "paste to host" is the operation that now has to be done manually. I need to figure out if I can get Access to automatically do Edit/Paste to host (operation from edit menu)in Hyperterminal. Has any one done this before?
Good luck,
Kuzz
