passing a variable into a VB2005 .exe form

[jpowe60]

I am a new VB2005 programmer...learning this ojt. i use a VFP application that passes a report file name to crystal, version 8.5 and 10. The statement that I used was
do form rptin_report with "report file name". I have created a vb2005 form to display a cr2008 report. when I hard code the reportname in the reportsoource field, the report get displayed no problem. What I need to do is to have this form accept any cr2008 report name based upon the report selection user is currently running. I have th following statement in VFP is run /N display_reports.exe I can't figure out two items though they are probably staring at me..the first is how do i include the reprot name after the .exe and 2)on the Vb side, where/how do I tell VB where to picked up the variable and process the report..

any comments/suggestions/pointing me to any documentation greatly appreciated

thank you in advance
