Ed,
Do you know how to do it in VFP, or where I can get help on this issue?

Thanks

>>Hi All,
>>I have a cash drawer for a com port. The computer does not have a com port but a USB port. The hardware vendor has given me a cable which goes into the USB port and the other end is a 9 pin com port connector which goes into the cash drawer.

>>The question is, I was using the MSCOMM32 OCX to talk to the cash drawer. How do I talk to the cash drawer now thru the USB port??

>The simple answer is you don't use MSCOMM32 directly to talk to a USB port - MSCOMM32 talks specifically to serial ports, not USB ports. You'll need driver software for the USB interface, either to communicate directly with the USB port, or to virtualize the USB port and make it act as a serial port; IAC, it's an issue outside of VFP.
