Send Event with Parameters

Hi,

I'm trying to call a compiled macro with SendEvent (I'm using FMP 7.0).

I read on another forum to store four doublequotes in a field called QMK, store the path and macro name in another field and then call it this way:

"cmd /c " & QMK & macroname & QMK

This works fine. It calls my macro successfully.

However...now I want to call the macro with a parameter. So if I were running it from the windows command line, I'd put:
mymacro.exe "close"

So my question is, how do I call it from the SendEvent script command but also pass it the "close" parameter?

I've tried different things, but FMP seems to think I'm trying to call a program called "mymacro.exe close" instead of calling mymacro.exe with the "close" parameter. The macro never gets called.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA, Susie
