accessing parameters from activex server while running

[jaggedmedia]

I Have successfully accessed parameters using Visual Basic from a labview executable that runs once and then returns control to VB; However, if my LV app runs continuously (while loop) how can i serve the data. If i run my VB app and the LV app is currently running, I get the error that LV is not in a state to complete the operation or if I allow my VB to open and run the LV app i get the error that the server is busy.
thanks

If you can change both application, consider using datasocket. It is much easier and very reliable as well. In the VB application, add datasocket activeX control to use it, not only you can read data in labview application, you can update data as well.

What is the name of this control (???.ocx) and where is it normally found
thx

In Labview, it is under "Communication -> Datasocket". In VB, I believe it is called something like "Datasocket" . In Labview, goto "Help -> Find Examples" and search for datasocket, there should be some examples.
