Can your vb routine, via ODBC for example, write to your Oracle database? If yes, then write to a 'special place' and then get your form to read the vb 'special place' and compare it to the stored serial number.

Have a search of this forum for 'ora_ffi', there should be enough threads to give you a good start to solving your problem.

Questions: can a vb routine have 'out' parameters as well as 'in' parameters? Are vb routine always 'procedures' or can a vb routine be written as a 'function' with a return code? Can your routine read your Oracle database, compare the stored value with the 'live' value and, for example, return a non-zero return code to indicate 'failure'?
