Using a variable in a command line

[RGoldthorpe]

PLease help having not done an awful lot of programming before in VB

Could somebody help me please

I have the following code

Private Sub Viewer_Button_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Viewer_Button_Click

Dim stAppName As String
Dim LSMTAG As String
LSMTAG = Form_Computers.Combo6.Value
stAppName = "C:\Program Files\ORL\VNC\vncviewer.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

Exit_Viewer_Button_Click:
Exit Sub

What I would like to know is how can I use LSMTAG as a switch at the end of the vncveiwer line so that it tell the command line which pc to log on to

E.G "C:\Program Files\ORL\VNC\vncviewer.exe" /lsmtag

where LSMTAG is a computer name

Please explain really simply coz I not very good

Based on what you've said, this should work:

stAppName = "C:\Program Files\ORL\VNC\vncviewer.exe /" & lsmtag

BUT I haven't tried it, and am no expert in shelling other apps. Apologies if it doesn't work.
