I would suggest asking the manufacturer for the programmers
documentation, sometimes called, SDK Software Developers Kit I think,
and sample code. If they can supply you with VB6 code that will
likely work with Access.

I have no idea if that has VBA/VB6 sample code. But you could
certainly ask them.

You can also use C++ code as a starting point but you'd have to do a
lot of extra work to translate the sample C++ code to VBA.
