Hey guys,
I originally made a program for a client. A standalone program made using the Access 2003 developers extension add in. This worked perfectly on Windows XP. The program was designed to monitor and read inputs from a machine which was connected to the computer (by a transducer and then a serial port which was finally connected to the comp by USB),and draw a graph in access which would later show info to the user in the form of reports, etc.
Once they upgraded to Windows 7 along came an error. The serial port would not be recognized in access. I figured that the device drivers needed to be upgraded. This was a success except for within the Access program. While device manager would recognize that the com port was in use for the transducer, and that it could also be read from (using the device's testing software), when using access we still got an error saying that the port was unrecognized.
How do we get Windows 7 to read these ports in Access 2003 which Windows XP so did so easily before?
Thanks.
