    Re: Command line options w/ VB program

    in your VB program check the Command$ variable. It is a global variable that contains the command line arguments of your program.

    There's some handy code at :

    http://codeguru.developer.com/vb/articles/1755.shtml that split your command line parameters (from Command$ as Lothar stated) into an array for you - you can simply drop it into your program.
