Is there anyway that I can pass a variable into a vb program when I call it. I want to do something like vbprogram.exe textfile.txt but I don't know how to receive the variable and stuff in the vb program. :(( I know in C it's argsv. any help would be great. :-D ICXC NIKA

The default VB projects normally create Sub Main(), kinda like void main() in C++. Well, just like in C++, there are other "versions" of the main function: Sub Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) Function Main() As Integer Function Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) As Integer Just replace the default with the one you need.

There's also the
Commandobject. And, you can access it from anywhere in the program. It's a string containing what was passed on the command line after the executable's filename. It's up to you to parse it. Try this...MsgBox """" & Command & """"
Then, compile it into an exe and run it from the command line passing whatever you want. Jeremy Falcon Imputek "The happy people are those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing." - William Ralph Inge
