Hi all,

I have a need to use excel to send/recieve data from a control box that sits
on the lan with it's own IP address...

How can I use VBA to chat with this box?

Thanks,

MP

Hey,

I've used Microsoft's communication control in the past. If I'm not
mistaken (I could well be) it's MSCOMM32.OCX. NOte that I'm pretty sure
this is only normally licensed and available with a VB installation. At
least I can't find it on the machine I'm using at the moment.

I used it for RS232 control but it should be pretty easy to use it for
IP stuff - I would imagine at least.

If you have it, you just drag and drop it onto a user form.

HTH,
Gareth
