Comm Ports access

[VLG711]

Does any one know if it is possible at access comm ports using VBA. I would like to use the MSComm1 object in my database but I can't seem to find the correct library. I dont know much about VBA and any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

You need to drop the MSComm active X control onto your form. Then it's objects and methods will be available through code.

I have a demo that I did in Access97 a few years ago on my site at

You'll only have the MSComm object available to you if you have at least the Professional Edition of Visual Basic installed. I don't believe the control comes with any version of Office. If it's on your system it'll be called MSCOMM32.OCX, find/install that control and make sure it's registered, and it should become available.
