Accounting Integration with VB Apps

I'm writing some specialized software apps for a Home builder. I need to integrate them with an accounting package, but I'd like more functionality than just dumping the data in it after I'm done with it. If, for example, the accounting package exposed the functionality of generating a Purchase Order, and I could manipulate it programmatically from my app, that would keep me from having to re-write that code. I could just use what's already there. The company is a "production" home builder, meaning they are one of these that go buy land and build a subdivision. They have, over the years developed their own way of doing things, hence my custom apps. Any input is greatly appreciated. I need to find the accounting package I can tightly integrate with.

Thanks,

Bob

If you are looking for specific names of accounting packages you could suggest to your client, I'm sorry but I can't really help you there.

In general terms, though, you'll want to look for a package that exposes functionality as COM objects foreasiest access from your VB app.
