The only way to get information for ANY other application's form is by
using a technique known as "screen scraping", but I really doubt you
would want to get into that, it's pretty complex. In case you do,
start your research with the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Windows Form
property.
If I were you, I would try to get the data from the table the form is
attached to.

Unfortunately DDE is no longer available in the new VB.
Methods like LinkRequest and LinkSend are no longer available.
What I am looking for is the replacement for these methods in the new
VB 2005.
If you know how please respond.
