Hi all,

I have a question that I am not sure there is an answer for - bu
hopefully someone may have come across this somewhere or has som
knowledge.

I am trying to get excel to read serial data from a COMS port as ASCII
In this instance, a cheque reader which scans the MICR on the bottom o
the cheque.

There are third party programs that will allow you to do this (many ar
even shareware) - but I need to try and find a method of having exce
perform the function of reading the data from the port, and convertin
it to ASCII characters.

Has anyone ever come across an article/plug in or other interface wit
excel that will help? Also, can anyone comment on whether this may b
possible with VBA?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers

Rob :
