Some suggestions:

	* VB into a DDE server and use SWI-Prolog DDE stuff
	* Use sockets.  There is a socket implementation for
	  pure Prolog accessible from the SWI-Prolog pages

	  (http://swi/projects/SWI-Prolog/packages/clib/)

	  Windows server-side isn't too good.  Client may be
	  fine.
	* Use a file ...
	* ...

Most people go for DDE I think.
