PIC RS-232 to control Access database?

[Angus Anderson]

Hi Guys-

Aimed mainly at people living alone in retirement complexes, and usually in their 70's or 80's. One of the biggest problems is that infirm old people often slip & fall or have an attack of some sort and have no way of calling for help. One button press on a remote around the neck contacts a control room and opens a hands free conversation

Thanks for the replies, chaps. I will look at those refs.

It's quite easy to do, I posted couple of snippets a while back (as mackrackit pointed out) but forget about mscomm, use the drop in class, much more flexible. Only because it's for Grandma (could be mine) - let me know if you need any help.
