Well, the connection between GH and Excel has been done a number of different ways. I posted my means of connection on my blog a while ago. What you do with that it after that is up to you.
http://liquidtectonics.blogspot.com/search/label/Excel As to actually connecting to those other programs through VB, I don't think there are too many options. I know Ecotect has scripting, but it uses LUA and I'm not sure if there's any interoperability between LUA and VB. I'm not really familiar enough with the other packages to really say what they offer in terms of scripting connections. I am pretty certain that almost all of them have the ability to output data to excel or to a csv file (which could either be read directly or through excel), so that's probably the best way to go about it.
