How can i read(write) bytes from(into) a serial port with VB 5.0 (LEARNING Edition) ?

Is it only possible with the pro/enterprise edition (MSComm)?

Can i include MSComm to the learning edition?

thx
 
Dear Sir..
I don't know if VB5 learning edition can do this. But I think you can use a DLL to access these ports by declaring the functions that you design in VC++ to perform such an operation or use a ready DLL that some companies might provide. I know the address of a company that provide free DLLs to access ports. The address is:


Good Luck.
