For the COMMAND$ the code is easy.
Sub Form_Load()
'check if something was passed on the commandline
if COMMAND$ <> "" then
'if a /F is found then the user passed a filename
if instr(COMMAND$,"/F") then
'Parse the filename out and save it
sFilename = Mid$(COMMAND$,instr(COMMAN
end if
else
msgbox "You must pass a filename as /Ffilename.ext"
end if
end sub
To pass the filename to a seperate program, just shell out like this
lResult = shell("OTHER.EXE /F" + sFilename)
Sub Form_Load()
'check if something was passed on the commandline
if COMMAND$ <> "" then
'if a /F is found then the user passed a filename
if instr(COMMAND$,"/F") then
'Parse the filename out and save it
sFilename = Mid$(COMMAND$,instr(COMMAN
end if

end sub
