Hi Buddy, Do a search on ActiveX in the Developer's Guide. There is a section that shows you how to add an ActiveX control to a form.
The next thing you should do is look for sample code that shows you how to use the MSCOMM control. This is available in VB6 and you may look at this link http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=01efe663-e0ff-4147-aa8b-ab9549605ea2&displaylang=en. Once you understand the VB6 code you should have a head start to do what you would like to do in X++. In VB6 you set a property value of the ActiveX control as follows: MSCOMM.ComPort = 1 But remember that the comparable code in X++ whould be: MSCOMM.ComPort(1); This is important to know because it may frustrate you if you forget that X++ uses function calls to set and get property values of a variable in an object, as a result of the encapsulation of variables in the object. Hope this gives you a kick start. One final thing, in order for you to trigger the value from the scale on the comport you should output an end-of-line character to the port. This will trigger the OnEvent method/event of the ActiveX control, where you should read the value. Regards, Varden Morris 85 Saddleland Close N.E.

You can use the MSCOM activeX control to read data from the COM port of the computer where the scale is connected. If you are using Citrix or Terminal Server to launch the AX client you can configure them to map the client computer port, instead of the Citrix or Terminal Server, to the AX client.
