    you will have to use an API function to open the port. The file you want to send have to be converted to array of bytes , on the other side this array of bytes has to be returned to its original form.

    I can give you the code that handles the serial port opening and closing
    and some code for reading and writing data to it but it is in C++

    Use the MSComm control. All the code you need is in the help file examples (MSComm and OnComm.)
    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.
