Re: Calling VB object from AS/400

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

One idea would be to create a VB sockets server that can wait for a
connetion from an AS/400 sockets application. The VB sockets server can
then drive the VP application using DDE or OLE and return the results to
the AS/400.
