Accessing the USB Port

[DonB]

I have for years used the Comm Control that comes with VB to transfer data from external devices (like a balance) to spreadsheets via the serial port. Now that most devices are using USB to send data, I would like to be able to add that capability to the add-ins I've written. Does anyone out there know of a third-party control or maybe some code somebody has written that would help me to do this?
