listed. You can run Progress code behind the product configurator to check to
see if parts exist, etc. and the PC has a part creation capability, available
in Quote, Job, and Sales Order, etc.
However, if you want a general purpose way to use a VB.Net application to talk
to a Vantage Session then use the Vantage Business Objects. There are some

(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vantage/message/59690) that show how to
connect to a session. Once you have a session, you can use the Part Object or
any other to manipulate data in Vantage/Vista. Unfortunately, the Business
Objects are not well-documented, so you'll have to feel your way around using
the logging feature of the client and the Object Browser in Visual Studio.
