Dharamvir Hello,

All the information needed to make a simple SCADA application using VB is available on the web.

The things you'll need most are:

1) Communications interface - Use an ActiveX driver or OPC server (Automated solutions, Matrikon, etc., etc,)

2) Graphics - Check out the libraries offered by Rechard Software (www.reichard.com) and others

3) Historical data - If your application is small you can use DAO to your favorite low-end database.
For plotting data you might want to check out Quinn-curtis' graphing libraries (www.quinn-curtis.com)

Whatever you do, try to find existing objects/code to do the trick. It will be much easier and cheaper in the long run.

Finally, if your application gets large enough I recommend purchasing a SCADA package.

Good Luck,
