Has anyone figured out how to connect to and read/write data to a USB
device?

I found some sample code for VB6 on the Intel Web site but, even under VB6,
it doesn't seem to work quite right (at least it didn't recognize my
device).

Thanks, Steve

Hi,

This really depends on the USB device, and the driver supplied by the device
manufacturer. I suggest that you get a copy of Jan Axelson's book USB
Complete, 2nd Edition (see Books on my homepage). She also has a VB .NET
example on her site (www.lvr.com). However, as I said, there isn't anything
to "universal" about USB.
