COM port access

[RoyVidar]

Hi!

I'm doing a project now, where it would come in very handy to be able to open and read COM ports from within VBA (ASCII-chars only).

Does VBA support COM port access? (Opening and reading...).

Thanx in advance, Roy-Vidar [sig][/sig]

Hi Roy.

well yes and no, i'm not sure about access itself but there are active x controls that give you access to the serial ports i use the communications control from VB6 in access. it's a bit limited but for character transfer it's fine.

there are many vendors that supply 3rd party add ins so check these out.
