I would like some help communicating with com port.  We are rewritng our
Quick Basic code using Visual Basic in Access.  We are unable to communicate
with the com port.  We are using MSComm control.  Any suggestions.

Doing serial communications from Access directly with the MSComm
control is extremely difficult. Another approach would be to use a
tool like the Software Wedge from TAL technologies (www.taltech.com)
It is designed for inputting serial data directly into other programs
including MS Access. It runs as a seperate application and provides
incoming serial data to other programs by either stuffing the keyboard
buffer with the data or by passing the data using Dynamic Data
exchange. It also supports transmitting data out the serial port as
well. The program comes with several examples that demonstrate how to
use it with Access.
