I've done it using DDE before but its a pretty outdated way of doing things now that we have OLE. &nbsp;Or you could use a registry setting but I suppose thats pretty close to using a file.<br />

I have had pretty good success using a DLL to pass variables from one application to another. &nbsp;You would have to be able to rewrite both applications to incorporate the use of a dll. &nbsp;If this is a possibility, I can get more specific.<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
