*** How To Access WSC from ACCESS *** Refer to VBA32.TXT for 32-bit ACCESS (ACCESS 97 and later). The following example has been tested using Access 2.0 and WSC16.DLL. (1) Copy WSC16.DLL to the ACCESS directory. (2) Using a text editor, copy WSC16.BAS [or WSC32.BAS] and MODULE.BAS to the clipboard. You may want to modify MODULE.BAS first, such as changing the port and baud rate from the values in MODULE code (COM1 at 9600 baud). (3) Start ACCESS and invoke the Design Tool. (4) Choose the MODULE tab. A new module window will appear. (5) Paste the contents of the clipboard (from step 2 above) and save the module. (6) Choose the MODULE tab, double click the module name, choose "Run", then "Compile Loaded Modules" from the menu bar. (7) Select the MACRO design tool. Create three macros: Action Function Name ====== ============= 1. RunCode OpenPort() 2. RunCode PutAT() 3. RunCode ClosePort() (8) Connect your serial cable to a serial device such as a modem or connect to another computer using a null modem cable. (9) Run macros 1, 2, and 3 in order. An "AT" should be sent to the serial device.
