Welcome to the forums. :wave:
I have edited your post and removed your email address.
You should never post your email address in an open post on an open forum. Mail spam bots can pick that up and before you know it, your mailbox is full of junk mail. If you wish to share your email address with other forum members, please do so via our PM system.
But even more importantly than that, we prefer all answers to questions be publically posted rather than sent via EMail or PM. That way, everyone with a similar problem can benefit.
Thanks. :)
What do you mean by: establish PC and a calibration device via USB - what does "establish" mean?
vb6 can not communicate to usb device unless the usb device is already recognised by windows, or the manufacturer provides specific software to do so
So what do you suggest so that I can resolved this problem? Thank you. :)
Contact the manufacturer and inquire about a SDK. A SDK is a set of instructions for developers that want to write code for their product.Quote:

an external (usb) hard disk is just a disk drive to vb, you can read write any files, same as you can to the internal hard disk, just supply full path including drive letter
As WC said you don't need anything special to communicate with a USB HD but that's not what your first post stated. Your first post stated that it's a USB Calibration device.Quote:
