Alejandro,

On the first issue, the variables that you define in an MB program are not
directly accessible from VB and vice-versa. You can get a variable from MB
by using MI.Eval() to read a global variable from MB. The only way to get a
VB variable into MB is to assign it to a MB variable like: 

MI.Do "MBVar = '" & VBVar & "' "   // for a string variable and
MI.Do "MBVar =" & Str$(VBVar)   // for a number variable

Can't help on the second issue, as I use VB to create my button routines
instead of MB.
