define parameters in an exe 3

[Holger]

How can I define a parameter in my vb application? When I start the program from the command line, i.e. by c:\programs\myapp.exe -e, it shall execute a special subroutine inside the exe.

Hi,

CHeck the command$ in the load event (or in sub main if thats your start sub).
It could look like:
----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Select Case Command$
Case "-e": Call MySub1
Case "-e": Call MySub1
Case Else: MsgBox ("your must provide a parameter&quot
End Select
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------

Sunaj,
thanks for your answer which I found late... Think this must work.
