RS232 probs, help needed!

[Gobiten]

hello there.
Im in a big need of some help with a MSComm1 codeing.

I'm about to start a project that includes 2 steppers (step motors), I call em X & Y.
I don't know their specifications but they get a bit cranky at 1500 spins
Im gonna fix the Velocity part later but I need to make a test run in the end of the week!!

Well now to my problem:

I'm kind of newbie to the VBA world (VB too) and I wanna get this thing work so I can get my references from my boss.

I haven't even started with this part because I jsut got to it. I thought if anyone had some examples that could help me out?

I need to send Keystroke commands to the steppers, such as X-1000 (move 1000 spins in the negative direction). Any technuiques are welcome. Here the Goal:

I need 4 cells to putin the Keystrokes
I need a pause command for every cell sending (if possible)

and some more if you got any idea's.

Help would be appretiated

Best Regards

You could take a look on http://www.hardandsoftware.com/ Richard Grier has
helped me a number of times in the past on VB/RS232 programming problems.
Its (probably) not VBA but should be transferable.
