    Question Direct to COM port

    Hi everybody.

    I'll posting this to more forums as I don't really know where it belongs ...
    Problem: Is there any way (or a component) that would allow me to send specific data to a selected COM port.
    I do not know how exactly COM port works but I am looking for something that if told would send for example 123 to COM1 or COM2.
    So is there a way how to acomplish that?

    TIA.
    Brandon

    Use the MSComm control in VB

    The MSComm1.CommPort property lets you set the COM port you want to use.

    Or simply
    VB Code:
    1. Open Com3 For Output As #1
    But if you need more then just sending info. I think you should go with the MSComm Control
