Title: Executing native VB.exe from within a macro???? HELP
Post by: byellin on July 24, 2007, 06:42:52 PM

I need to execute native VB code to get at some O/S functionsfrom within a macro. Mach functions in VB script only support Sendserial, and I will need to do a few more things like Getserial (made this name up), and discovery of the Windows available com port list. Has anyone out there done this? Any tips or instructions on how to proceed?

You will need to do a C++ plug in, mach doesnt currently support GetSerial in VB.......
