Captor - Microcap System

A

AL

We have a system of Data collection terminal (Capdrive from
captorgroup) with keypad and with Microcap terminal.

We had a MRP software that communicated with captor system. But now
we
can not use that software and we like to continue using captor
system.
While we do not have a new software which use this system, we really
like to use the system through MS ACCESS. It is possible! How?


Our equiment is:
1 Capdrive - Model: CAPD_32_220
19 Microcaps - Model: MICR_S4

you should start MS Access and go FILE, NEW, PROJECT (existing data)

and then browse to the SQL ServerName and Database Name that your MRP
provider is using

Thank you.
But I don't want to connect with database, I want to get connection
with hardware.

But thank you for an answer.

Thanks for the URLs. The first page mentions "serial RS232-C line" so
it should be possible to hit those devices from MS Access.

See the Serial Port Communications page at my web site.

However this would likely require a great deal of custom programming.
Then there's the programming of the MRP system. Which could cost you
tens or hundreds of thousands.

Aaron has a tendency to reply with one of several answers no matter
what the question.
