Hi,<br />
<br />
Query the Command$ variable in your VB code.<br />
<br />
In the above example, it will contain &quot;JU1991020005 940604707218.txt &nbsp;940604707218.idx&quot;.<br />

I think you can get by using the command function.<br />
<br />
sub frmmain_load()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;frmmain.text1 = command<br />
end sub
</div>


I think you can get by using the command function.

sub frmmain_load()
   frmmain.text1 = command
end sub

parsing the command line arguments

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
