 Access to the serial interface, how can I read/write ASCII-Chars to COM1 ?

Hello, I search for a way to read/write ASCII-Chars to COM1 but don't have
some manuals for this. Perhaps someone of you can help me with this or can
tell me where I can get informations for this. By the way, using Access
2K...

Hi,

You need an ActiveX unless you decide to go the API way (and it is not
suggested). There are the MSCOMM32.ocx, with Visual Studio, and also the
XMCOMM control, free, at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/richard_grier/. Both controls
behave essentially the same, so, you can take a look at the doc about the
MSCOMM32 control, and take note of the differences, if you use XMCOMM, at
Richard page.

Hoping it may help,

Check out the "wedge" software at http://www.taltech.com/. They even have some
free downloads that might include something that solves your problem (see, in
particular, the last two items on their Free Software page).

Their "WinWedge" and "BCWedge" software is well known amongst electronic scale
and barcoding users.
