I need to control a device connected to my local COM port. It's a weight indicator. Application must be written in VB6. Any idea?

We use ActiveComport for that. It's a toollkit for Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET, that does all serial port stuff.
Good tool, we distribute it with our own software. See their web site on http://www.activexperts.com/activecomport

Or you could use MSComm control provided with VB 6.0 and its free.
Take a look and let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
Don't suppose you know how to create and manipulate a virtual COM (serial) port?
I have never created one but the easiest way I could think of would be to make it a class so it would operate just like a comm port.
What would be the purpose of the Virtual Comm Port?
To mimick hardware (in particular GPS units) so . . .
I can write test harnesses
I can integrate external GPS with PC
