Big update....
I was using the bridge found here
http://forum.joomla.org/
BUT, I have had to uninstall it due to numerous problems ranging from member's passwords being screwed up (and I was unable to reset them through the database or admincp) to joomla creating numerous accounts each time a person logged in or out. People with special characters in their name or password were getting database errors. It was a huge mess and I'm still trying to clean up the passwords issue

I tried reinstalling three times and kept getting the same problems. So, I finally just gave up on it. Such a shame too.
Now, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I love Joomla but would really like to be able to use it WITH my vB. I dunno what I'm going to do from here.
