    Serial Communications

    Hi,
    I have a calculator which can be connected to the computer using a serial cable. I'd like to create a little communications application so that my computer can communicate with the calculator. Does anybody know anything about serial communications using VB?

    Thanks.

    you need to use the MS Comm control, but I'm afraid that's as far as I can help... the commands that you need to send to it and the information you can recieve will depend entirely on the hardware you are connecting to!


    If you have problems with the control in general there are several tutorials in various places around the internet

    MSComm

    Use the MSComm object within VB. I use the control in just about every application I write so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
