Re: VB 2005 express

["Gary" <questuk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Anyone know if VB Express can interface to the rs232 ports succesfully
and also the USB and game ports?

Just I'm about to start the long road of learning VB (i know VB6 can,
but VB Express is free :-)), but eventually i want to interface with
the above ports.


Thanks



Regards


Gary
