Hi Gary,

Yes it can do serial ports as that's what I am doing, a am also
new to this so not sure I can help out yet as I am still having problem
building my app.

It wont' install as it complains about mysql.data not being in the GAC.
Which I'm sure it is as I have just reinstalled it and tick the box for
the GAC. Also now my app wont run with F5 either :-(

Regards,

Paul

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
