help please urgent! :( visual basic gui

[newbie69]

i am making a visual basic GUI that can perform the following actions:

1.)opens the hyperterminal application to get data from a serial port and captures the data as a text file.(.txt)

2.)as the data is captured as text, microsoft excel uses the text file and processes the data and graph the data using the set macros of the excel file. microsoft excel also saves the excel workbook.

3.)shows the workbook in the GUI.

in Visual Studio 2008 there is in the toolbox a Component called SerialPort which you can use to talk to a serial line

may not be in other versions such as the express editions though
