 HELP: Serial port handling in VB 3.00?

Hi all...

I've just got VB 3.00 Standard Edition and want to use the serial port from
within it. How does one go about this? Is there any sample code I can get?
Should I buy VB Pro?

Any info gratefully received...

Hi Marc,

VB Pro comes with MSCOMM.VBX, I don't know if this VBX comes with the
standard addtion.

MSCOMM.VBX is not a real sterling product. It takes quite a bit of
tweeking to get it to work properly - and under certain conditions all
the tweeking in the world wont help<g>

You can obtain the most recent version of this vbx from ftp.microsoft.com

Hope this helps.....Cliff
