3. Using The Excel/Visual Basic Macro Polling
AcroComm command line operation can be easily incorporated into Excel/Visual Basic
applications. This provides extremely fast turnkey solutions for customer applications. The
example in Appendix E is an Excel 97/Visual Basic application that allows the user to poll
transactions into an Excel spreadsheet. The application is configurable allowing the user to turn
on/off columns not required, pair punches, subtotals, totals, etc. This software application can be
used out of the box and is intended to be an example of the capabilities of AcroComm, the
Acroprint terminal, and Visual Basic within Excel 97. The source code for this example may be
copied, used/altered/modified, and included in your own application. The sample program is
designed to run on Windows 95 Operating Systems. Refer to Appendix E for program details.
