Command line parameters

[bboggessswcg]

Can anyone give me a little help with a command line launch? I would like to get an example of how to grab the switch or parameter passed from the command line. Like if I launch the VB program from the command line "get.exe wsdisp", I want to be able to read in teh wsdisp into a variable. Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a variable in vb called command it will hold the value wsdisp and you can transfer the value in command to a variable.

strSwitch = Command

Store all of your arguments in an array using the split function.

Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim CmdLnArg() As String
CmdLnArg = Split(Command$, " &quot
End Sub
