The question:
Can ProViewer be integrated into and controlled by a VB program just like
MI Pro?
What we have in mind is a VB program that launches an instance of ProViewer
and then successively opens workspaces in this instance of ProViewer via the
VB routine.
I would like to hear any comments

Is there a way for different users of ProViewer (or MI for that matter) to
