My application requires that we do a data submission in addition to printing. I have created the file that we need to submit. The only part left is to dial up, login and send the file.
Does anyone know how to do that? Is there a Plugin for communications?
Thanks in advance
 
If you add the Microsoft Comm Control you your toolbar you can drop the control off on a form and use it to communicate with a modem. From within the form module you can use methods / properties below to send commands etc to your modem

Me.MSComm.Settings = “9600,E,7,1”
Me.MSComm.CommPort = 1
Me.MSComm.PortOpen = True
Me.MSComm.Output “Text To Send To Modem”
