Hi, everyone,

Is there any way that HTML DB can communicate with Serial Port (COM Port) directly? I searched the forum, and saw someone mentioned "Visual Baisc", "Javascript", "ActiveX", or "DLL". Could anyone give an example for it if you had successful experiences about it?


My problem is I'm working on a HTML DB project which will read data from barcode scanner. And request I have is the HTML DB can monintor the Serial Port and read the data from there if there is one. That means some programs need to be embedded in or called in HTML DB page. I known there are some commerial software developed for this purpose on the market, but I am wondering if it can be done by HTML DB itself?

Thank you. And Regards,
Ran
