I use the GetCommandLine function to obtain parameters send to my exe file. It works very well in W95 but in WinNT in doesn't. Here is the declaration:<br />
Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib &quot;kernel32&quot; Alias &quot;GetCommandLineA&quot; () As String<br />
What happens when I call this function in WinNT: Program error occurs(GPF). I tried to change the declaration from &nbsp;&lt;Alias &quot;GetCommandLineA&quot; () As String&gt; to :<br />
&lt;Alias &quot;GetCommandLineW&quot; () As String&gt; but in that case the function returns only the first character of the command line string.<br />
What's the problem and how to avoid it?<br />

GetCommmandLine Problem

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.
