Hi

I need to be able to make a switch that is connected to the computer via the parallel port that can be read with vb in excel. ie. i need the computer to trigger an event when i flick the switch (sort of like i can have a "private sub Test_click()".

I am using win98 for the project and can read / write to the port already, but short of just telling the command to loop i cannot fire an event immediatly after the switch is on.

thanks,
chris
