Hi Guys,

i am looking to run Excel with a VB script running in Excel to capture the CSV data directly
the data would then be available to be directly view fields provided with the Excel sheet

Looking at this link it appears that the coms can be set up to do this with in the vb script running excel
http://dev.emcelettronica.com/serial...n-in-excel-vba

i have not tested this out as yet but it would have some advantages than using a dumb terminal saving the file then loading as i could do the data "live" as an option

it looks like it maybe able to communicate back to the pic via the serial port check if the link is up and file has transfer ok

Was hoping someone has tried this or has something similar than terminal dump program
cheers

Sheldon
