Yes Sort of. We have Visual basic in excel and often write macros. I just
do not know the commands necessary to read the streaming data. "microsoft.news.com" wrote: why do you need excel to do this? You can use VB and insert it into excel. is that what your trying to do?

read serial data
To write VBA code in Excel to do serial I/O functions would be
extremely difficult. Your best bet is to use a tool that is designed for the job. One product that you might look at is called WinWedge from TAL Technologies. WinWedge is an executable program that is designed to run in the background and feed incoming serial data directly to other programs as well as send data out a serial port from other programs. It is typically used to interface all sorts of instruments directly to an Excel spreadsheet.
