Hi,, Though I am not good at all in SKILL coding, I use the script macro to interface with the VB program I wrote,, making VB form is easy, but I have not try SKILL with in depth effort, so cannot comment very much. I also try out PERL before with Free Viewer, to extract information from using "show element", most of it are 1 way,, using sendkeys method to get the allegro program to execute it form me. PERL will write macro for allegro--- sendkeys to tell the allgero to execute and save the data-- data crunching-- result. VB also done is very much the same way.

Yes you can with the IPC-Skill functions in Allegro SKILL. Search the archives on this forum. I know we had a few discussions on this topic in the past. In general, you would launch a skill program from within Allegro that then launches your VB script. The VB script and the Skill-engine then can communicate using stdin, stdout and stderr channels. Contact me offline and I can send you a copy of the white paper I wrote on this subject.
