Hi Brad.

I saw this message and I am trying to use the ActiveX controls. I hope you won't mind helping me out with this. I downloaded the demo version and am trying to use it with a scale to read package weight. Problem is I have no idea where to put the code. I have never used ActiveX before.

The doc says:

ThisForm.Olecontrol1.Open("COM1:", "baud=9600 parity=N data=8 stop=1")
ThisForm.Olecontrol1.SetHandshaking(2) && 'Serial ports Only. 0 = None, 1 = Xon/Xoff, 2 = Hardware
ThisForm.Olecontrol1.WriteString("Hello World ")
ThisForm.Olecontrol1.Close()

I have no clue where to put this stuff? Can you assist me?

I have a text box on the form to capture weight of package, I want it to automatically call the scale and put the data in the textbox.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks.
