Hi,
First change ur sunject line to Weighbridge to SAP Integration.
within some days i will start to do the same .
search on web giving above subject and in SDN also. u will get more help.
i have lot of information to share u.
1. u have to connect sap to vb exe, yours might
be a weighbridge or weigh feeder thing, right?,
use the function module ws_execute to run the vb exe..
It might be storing the values in some text file or so...read from
that text file the return value using fm ws_read or so..
i have done a similar thing for a cement industry in a weighbridge case.
for any help pls reply...

2. how to connect weighbridge to sap
The solution is like, through the vb program you create a file and stores it in the local PC's desktop or in any folder in which the Weigh Bridge is connected and write a FTP program in SAP .Scheduled the program in BG so that it will fetch the file from the directory and send the data to SAP.
