I sent you a workbook with an MSComm embedded in Sheet1

According to this article
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=6191

can only use the MSComm on a form (as Tom originally suggested).

It looks OK though for me on a sheet, but I've done nothing with it.

The thought occurred to me that some ActiveX controls are marked unsafe in
later Windows OS (eg Rich Text Box) and that perhaps that's why you can't
get it. But in a quick search I didn't find any reference to that effect,
but maybe double check.

Regards,
Peter T
