How can i recieve a paramter into VB, e.g. from a command prompt i type

run myapp.exe <parameter>

How can i get the paramter that is passed to the application?

i think that would work, but would it work from a command prompt?

I will try it at college on monday, as they have VB, and i don't.

Yes it will, the Command variable is filled properly if you execute the program from the command line, I just tested it.

thanks for testing, i thought i best make use of the college resources in the last year, and build as many useful reusable apps i can think of.
