RS232 Com Port

[Kicker]

Need some help. I have a PC using MS Access and need to use a Bar Code reader attached to the RS232 Com port. From the Access code, I need to look at the port and read it into a text box.

For some reason, I think I need to use MSCOM.OCX or something like that. Any help at this point would be much appreciated.

Is there a library or .dll you can set a reference to?

I haven't done a lot with COM, but I messed around a bit with some code I found here:

I am sure there is a dll or library or ocx file that would work. I posted my message because I don't now which ones there are or how they might be different or how they might help me.

Would you like to suggest one?
