I believe that you could try Orbix - have a look at
http://www.iona.com/products/orb_orbc++_home.htm for more details.
To quote briefly from the web page:
"Use familiar tools such as Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi,
MS Office or Active Server Pages to write COM applications that
can easily access CORBA applications."
Please note that I have not used Orbix, and I believe it will cost
a fairly large chunk of cash to license. Anyone actually have
experience with this thing?
Francis
