    If the laptop has a serial port, just point the MSComm control to it.

    If it has no serial port, you have 2 choices:

    a) Buy a PCMCIA serial port and use that.

    b) Buy a USB->serial adapter and use that (it'll install itself as a serial port).
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
