I assume you want to keep your vb application and not rewrite it in python. If that is the same as you say the problem is communication between the VB and web2py. They can communicate via sharing a DB (a MSSQL db) or by file buffers or by sockets (probably un-necessarily complicated).
Unless you VB app uses proprietary drivers you may want to consider rewriting it in Python. Your life will than become easier.
