Hi, is there any ActiveControl or a driver which is could use in an Access
application to read data from a USB (for instance, reading data from a bar
code reader connected to that USB).

Thanks in advance,

Most barcode scanner can be operated in wedge mode (as opposed to
serial mode). When operating as such they can be read into any
control that currently is active and has control. So for example you
could scan directly into a text box or table.

Does this help, or where you looking for something to programmatically
read the usb port?

I'm looking for something to programmatically read the usb port, simillar to
MSComm32.ocx or driver MXComm which I use to read or write data to a serial
port without using any API calls.
