Hello and thank you to you both.<br />

I've implemented a simple edit box where the parameters can be entered and then assigned to a string (SendParam). This seems to work fine at the moment.<br />
<br />

I'm not entirley sure how and where the functions you've mentioned come into it. I've tried using paramstr(0) and this just returns the path of my compiled program...<br />
<br />
Thanks,

paramstr contains parameters that were used to run the current program, where paramstr(0) (the first one) contains the executable name.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to execute an external program with the shellexecute API. The exteranal program needs rather a lot of parameters in order to run correctly however; i.e. c:\dir\progname.exe -para1 -para2 etc. <br />
<br />
How can I do this in Delphi? Idealy my program will generate the parameters at run time.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
BTW, the external program is xplanet - a you can find more information at <a href="http://xplanet.sourceforge.net" rel="ugc">http://xplanet.sourceforge.net</a>. I'm attempting to create a small [simple] launcher for it.
