Hi folks,

Just like the title indicate, can VB6 program be able to communicate to serial com port
on Windows 7 32-bit system ?

If it can, anyone know the setup for it.

Hi,

Yes, of course VB6 programs do it using Windows API (CreateFile/ReadFile/WriteFile) or a 3rd party ActiveX component.

VB6 comes with a serial comm component called MSComm
Simply add it to the tool box then place it on your form

See the online help for info on how to use it or do a quick web search, tons of examples out there.

The MSComm control provides serial communications for your application by allowing the transmission and reception of data through a serial port.
