Hi,
Have any one worked with opening a cash drawer using VBA. I need a code in 
VBA to open a "MMF Cashier Plus" cash drawer with RS232 interface using 
com1 or com 2. This is the instructions the manufacturer give for opening 
the drawer from DOS prompt
c:>MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1            (ENTER)
   COM1:9600,N,8,1-                (REPLY)
c:>ECHO>COM1                       (ENTER)
The drawer opens after the last ENTER key is pressed.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks
Biko
 

George,

Try using the comm control MSCOMM32.OCX

There is quite a lot of documentation around for it - I had a test with
one placed on a form and a command button to activate it - I
surprisingly don't have a cash drawer connected to COM1 on my PC but it
fired up the modem no problem.

If you need some info let me know (or check MSDN)

Regards

Paul
