Are there problems inherent if two VB6 applications on one computer instantiate and use the Desktop API at the same time? I would like to use one program to retrieve forex data and write it to text files for easy access for another program that would work up some indicators and place trades through RefcoFX's integration. I don't want to get started on it if it is a dead end and I have to do it all within one application.

I would against having two programs interface with the Desktop API simultaneously. In fact, I am not sure it is even possible. Also, the processing you are asking your machine to do is quite significant, so you may want to think of using separate machines. -
Actually, it does work. I have done it a few times, but not enough to judge the stability and efficiency of doing it. Obviously the amount of data you are trying to consume will have a direct impact on this.
