VBA to send txt to hyperterminal

[akn112]

Hi all,

was wondering if there was a way to use VBA to automate the sending of a text file to hyperterminal,

thanks!

I don't know anything about Hyperterminal, but here are a couple of suggestions that might point you in the right direction:

In Form Design View, when you click on More Controls, are there any hyperterminal objects available? If there are, pick whichever one sounds like what you want, and add it to a form. This will cause any .dll files associated with the object to be automatically referenced. Once you find the name of the newly referenced .dll, you can use the object browser to see the parameters and properties available. That might help you figure out what you want.

Worked for me with the terminal emulator we use, anyway.

Thanks for the reply, tried it out, didn't see anything much that looked like a hyper terminal object. As another possibility, how about telnet? Would that be more feasible?
