How do you call a Visual Basic App From Labview?

[MarkAPC]

I have a Visual Basic executable application that is collecting data from a USB port and displaying it in an MS grid control. I would like to read the same data in a LabVIEW application. The LabVIEW app would periodically poll the VB App to collect the current data. Does anyone have any insight or examples?

Go to the Resource Libary at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzone.nsf/webcategories/9C6DF90777E5A78206256874000FA14E?opendocument (Resource Library>LabVIEW>Connectivity>ActiveX) for some examples. You'll need access to the VB source code.

There seems to be plenty of examples of VB talking to labview but none as labview as a client talking to VB. There must be some examples around?

I've got exactly the same problem Mark. Did you get anywhere? Everbody just keeps giving me examples THE WRONG WAY AROUND, ie VB calling up labview. Very, very frustrating!!!!!!
