Control Code 28

[RichardFay]

I'm new at VB and have run into a problem designing a program for a cash register. The cash drawer is connected to the receipt printer and I'm told the code to make the cash drawer operate (open) is Control Code 28. What does this mean? How do I use it? Any sample code? Thanks for your help.

You would use Chr$(28), but I wouldn't know what port to send it to.
