VB5 interfacing to USB ?

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone accessed USB ports from VB5. I support a major realtime program which controls equipment. Currently the equipment is connected to PC via serial ports.

My customer is developing new hardware and has decided to connect it via USB port.

So two questions

1) has anyone controlled non PC hardware connected by USB port from VB5 program ? Data will flow in both directions, in case this makes a difference.

2) should I move system to VB6 ?

Thanks for any help

Denis

I agree which is why I have asked the question. VB6 I think will be alright, but to convert to VB6 is likel;y to be a big job as there are upward of 250000 line of code.

I have a similar challenge going on and I have been trying to get code to work that I got from the Intel site. [http://www.intel.com/intelpress/usb/.../download.htm]
