I was wondering if any of the knowledgeable folk here can help me with a Visual Basic for Applications problem I have.

I am trying to find out how to connect to a modem and send data and copy the responses recieved to excel cells. I have searched far and wide on the internet but can't seem to find anything so I thought if there is one place I will get an answer its here so over to you guys.

Thanks in advance

I would second the above an suggest you try looking for:

mscomm32.ocx

Which is an add in which I think will do what you ask.

Agree that you are unlikey to find a chunk of VBA code that does this.

You will need to use mscomm32.dll or some other add-in as ExGrunt suggests.
