Attaching to an already running process...

In VB6 we can attach to a running process in memory and transmit information
back and forth. This allows us to have several different applications all
accessing the
same program running in memory.

In VB.NET when we try this it fails. We use the objName.Start(Process
Handle) function. It will indicate that the connection was sucessful but
gets no response
from the running process.

Has anybody else run into this issue? Anyone know of a work around?
