Tried the VEPro Demo late last year, but had problems - as you are well aware. I will try their demo again as soon as I get the new Sonar - which should be in a couple of weeks. Sorry I can't try it sooner, but I'm in the midst of a project and don't want to make changes to the environment.
The irony? Well if I had VEPro working it would save me considerable time. I hate irony sometimes!
