Default Capturing Data from a Com Port or Printer Port

Thank you but this does not help me , how do i go about achieving this ???
I am wanting to pull the data from a digital scale but want to via a macro
or other means to be able to when I click on a cell it must read the data and
put it in a cell.

If you are using a bar code reader, many of these come with a utility which
will stuff the input into the keyboard buffer - then all you have to do is
select the cell so it has the focus for keystrokes, then read the code. The
utility adds in a CR at the end of the stream
