Default 2nd request I need to capture data from a serial port into a form.

We have a digital scale with a serial port on the rear of the display. I
have been told by the manufacture that I can attach a serial cable to the
display and import the information into access. But they don't know how. I
have a text field for the weight. How can I bring the information into the
form?
thank you
Michael
