PIC RS-232 to control Access database?

[sayzer]

Hi Guys,
I have just completed a project which is an emergency alarm for old people. It sends a 5 digit link code via the Telco network to a control room using DTMF signalling. The receiving (base) station is controlled by a 16F876 and puts the link code onto a backlit LCD. A PC database (Access)brings up the subscriber info when it is manually entered after reading the LCD.

What I want to do is to send the link code from PIC to PC using RS-232 and have the database automatically display the correct subscriber record. I know this can be done using VB and MSCOMM, but because my VB smarts are limited, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any help appreciated
