Hi,<br />
I have .vbs file where I have code to perform Mail Merging. This uses parameters like Source and Destination file names. Currently I have hard coded the parameter values into the script and &nbsp;created an .exe file for this .vbs script file using the ScriptCryptor Software available online. This thing works!!<br />
<br />
But need to be able to read the parameters for the .exe from the command line where this program will be invoked from.<br />
I could NOT use the &nbsp;'Command()' or 'Command$' for the parameters, as it does not identify them in the .vbs script.<br />
<br />
Note: I do not have Visual Basic Application available, so just wrote this script in NotePad. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I Need help reading the parameters passed to this .exe file from the underlying .vbs program.<br />
<br />

How to Read Command line Parameters from a Script written in a .vbs file. Note: Command() and Command$ do NOT work

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.
