You can use the MSComm ActiveX control in Excel however it will
require that you first have a copy of Visual Studio 6 installed in
your system because the licensed version of MSComm ActiveX control
only comes with Visual Studio 6.
It will also require that you do quite a bit of VBA programming in
Excel to make things work.
Perhaps a better solution would be to use a third party tool that is
designed for the job.
An excellent tool that you can use to do serial communications
directly from within Excel is called WinWedge and you can learn more
about it on the following web site:
