Getting Data from Serial Port

[Guest]

I am trying to retrieve data from a serial port by using a command button on a form. Can anyone tell me how to use MSCOMM32 to do this?

i think a good sample comes with VB6
also you cam look in KB, here for example:

Thank you for the help. One other problem; I am getting an error 'obeject undefined' on MSComm1 in the Visual Basic Editor in ACCESS. How do I register or add a reference to MSCOMM32.OCX? It doesn't show up under the References in the Visual Basic for Applications under References

yes, you have to add it to references. if it is not listed there - click on
browse button and add it manually
