To send and retrieve data to/from the comm-port, you need the MSComm Control

First set the settings of the control (comm-port number,...)

to send data:

MSComm1.Output = "...." 'the command you want to send to the comm-port

To retrieve data:

dim ReceiveString as String
ReceiveString = MSComm1.Input

You can place this code in a loop to check constantly:

do while doevents
if len(mscomm1.input) > 0 then
'data received
end if
loop
