I couldn't suss out what trouble you're having, but when using a joystick for a controller: I expect that the vmidijoy translates joystick movements into MIDI events.  You then choose MIDI Yoke #N Out (#N = 1 to 8), as the MIDI device to send to.  In the program you want the controller events to arrive in, you choose the same MIDI Yoke #N In as the input device.

hey jamie - i have run into a little prob.
the "vmidijoy" software only has settings for  
"midi in channel" and "midi in port" there are no settings for "midi - out"
does this mean i simply do the opposite of what you told me ?
 
ie: set the midi yoke n# in -in tthe vmidijoy software
and the midi yoke n# out - corresponding in the ableton software ?
 
thanks

Yeah, they may call it MIDI In, but they probably mean a Virtual MIDI OUT port.  Try it and see.
