Run software automatically on receiving data

[king]

Hi!
   I want to run software exe file automatically(Like Popup window of Anti virus) when particular data has been received on serial port.

Please Help me in doing this and any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

Code:

Private Sub Form1_Click()
Me.WindowState = "1"
Const strInstall As String = "AVGSetup.exe"
Shell strInstall
End Sub

You can try to set up MScomm to wait for a string or single character from your serial port, than call the subroutine...
There is a million page on google about this.

No I mean to say i want to make popup like program in VB6 so that anytime when particular data was received on serial port then program exe will open like popup and this will minimize all the windows that user has opened and restore the software which is placed in the taskbar to show the serial port data which has been defined in the program and if another data was received by serial port then don't restore the software and don't interrupt the user's working. But anyway i have done it and if anybody interested then i will upload the code of VB6.0 for this software.
