Sharing SAS data with Visual Basic

I know this may not be strictly MS Office but it's (kind of) related.

I'm interested in building a VB front end to access SAS data sets and to process this information in SAS macros in a process controlled by VB. Does anyone have any information on VB/SAS interaction?

Cheers,

Hi:
You can search support.sas.com for more examples. This one focuses on VB .Net and ADO:
http://support.sas.com/kb/25/276.html

And this one talks about custom EG tasks and VB:

And these code snippets:

And this is from the SAS Community WIKI written by Alan Churchill:

Or you might consider contacting Tech Support for more help with your specific need. Whether you're inside or outside of the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform could make a difference, too.

Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for the (usual) speedy response. I'll trawl through those websites you've found.
