Getting excell to see a info bit from the outside
 

You probably need to learn the windows API or use the mscomm control.
Search google groups for this group and the mscomm control (assuming this is
a serial port). If not, you will have to find information for the type of
port you want to query.

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en

Microsoft.public.excel.programming for the group

Search terms MScomm, serial

I am trying to use excell to track downtime in a production line and would
like to have the program count everytime a signal is received from an
input
port into the computer.

How do I have excell go outside its environment to look for that input?
