have you tried opening it using exactly what was returned. &nbsp;i.e., even though we don't know what &quot;DOCUME~1&quot; really refers to, it should still be a valid path. &nbsp;Unfortunately I don't have a system I can test this on, so it's just a guess.<br />

Hi guys,<br />
I'm having problems with command line arguments. When I double click on a file (p1.gemr) on my Desktop, my application uses the following statement to read the command line parameters, wanting to extract the above file name:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;sFileName = Replace(Command, &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;)<br />
<br />
Instead of getting a proper file path+name I get what appears to be a truncated name, e.g.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;C:\DOCUME~1\michael\Deskto<wbr />p\P165E9~1<wbr />.GEM<br />
<br />
I imaging it has something to do with short file names but I don't know how to check/set that.<br />
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to solve my problem?<br />

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with command line arguments. When I double click on a file (p1.gemr) on my Desktop, my application uses the following statement to read the command line parameters, wanting to extract the above file name:

     sFileName = Replace(Command, """", "")

Instead of getting a proper file path+name I get what appears to be a truncated name, e.g.

     C:\DOCUME~1\michael\Desktop\P165E9~1.GEM

I imaging it has something to do with short file names but I don't know how to check/set that.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to solve my problem?

Problems with 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.
