check out the Command$ function, it returns the parameters and then you can do split(s,"/") or something to separate them

The @host is everywhere!

You can use Command() to get the commandline string, and then split the parameters. Like this:

=============
Option Explicit

Public Sub Main()

Dim rv As String 'return value
Dim i As Integer

i = InStr(1, Command(), "/s", vbTextCompare)

'Check if key exists
If i > 0 Then
'Do something to handle "/s"
MsgBox "Found /s!"
End If

i = InStr(1, Command(), "/r", vbTextCompare)

'Check if key exists
If i > 0 Then
'Do something to handle "/r"
MsgBox "Found /r!"
End If

''''''''''''
'TO DO: Add any cases if you want
'''''''''''

i = InStr(1, Command(), "/t:", vbTextCompare)
'Check if key exists
If i > 0 Then

'strip off the key name plus all key-value pairs that came before the target key
'ie. get value of key + anything after it
rv = Mid(Command(), i + Len("/t:"))

'strip off next key
i = InStr(rv, "/")
If i > 0 Then
rv = Left(rv, i)
End If

'Return the value
rv = Trim(rv)
If rv <> "" Then
'TO DO: handle with the value ( for example: rv="34")
MsgBox "Found /t! vale=" & rv
Else
rv = "Exists"
End If 'Do something to handle "/r"
End If

End Sub

============

The previous two appends describe the Command$ statement to retrieve command line parameters.
In order to simulate command line parameters at DESIGN time, go to Project/Project Properties. Select the MAKE tab and enter your parameters in the "Command Line Arguments:" box.
When your program issues the Command$ statement, whatever you specify here will be presented.
