Passing data between two third party applications' interfaces.

[TIGREBLANCO]

Ok, at my workplace we have two third-party applications.
We hired a temp to transfer data from app A to app B (its out of the question to get app B's provider to import data from app A directly from the database, so all we have is the two interfaces to work with and the data they show).
Is there a way to make VB6 to go to app A screen, copy the data on field_X then go to app B screen and paste the data on field_Y.
Since it can be made manually I thought there's got to be a way to automate it, but so far my reading about API has not given me a clear idea if this can be achieved.
Has any of you done this before or have any ideas about it?

Thanks in advance.

you will want to look into the send message api

http://www.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml

go there download the apiguide then look at the examples for sendmessage - you just need to learn how to use sendmessage once you do you can accomplish what you want
