Terahertz, you're confusing Visual Basic with Visual Studio. Post Edited (Beau Schwabe (Parallax)) : 5:16:00 PM GMT Now you should be able to see it and the functions under "View->Object Browser". This is an ActiveX control, so you will need to select the *.ocx extension under the browser menu.from there you will need to select "Browse." To add this you will do it through "Tools->References" under the "Visual Basic Editor". for me this was located in "WINDOWS\system32" I just checked, and you can add COM capabilities. To Add new Objects you can use - Tools->References To browse the Objects you can use - View->Object Browser To Bring up the Editor - Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor Inherently the communication capabilitiesĪre turned off, but it looks like you can add them through "Tools->References" under the "Visual Basic Editor".Most people aren't even aware that there is a VB editor inside Excel. ".Beau, That's interesting about Excel, I didn't know Excel had serial communication capabilities." Would someone kindly explain this to me before I go insane? NET $105.99, Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 $199.99, Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C 6.0 $199.99 etc. NET 2003 Professional $558.99, Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition $544.99, Visual C . Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Upgrade $359.98 So, there's a steep learning curve just to figure out what version I need? I know some versions allow serial comms some don't.I don't know which. website to look around and there seems to be dozens of variants of VB for sale, grrrrrr.So I decide to buy a copy of VB, I go to the I'd like a pretty GUI with sensor displays and the ability to send control signals. I need two-way comms between a PC and a BS2. After spending too many hours figuring out that the various free and "easy" programs out there that will interface with the BS2 cannot do what I want them to do, I surrender, I need to learn VB.
