I need help regarding the SHELL command. 1

[rarubio1]

I have written a VB application that is opened by two different VB apps via the SHELL command. The data that my application displays changes depending on the application that opens it.
What I need to know is if there is a function that whill let me know which application is the one that opened it.

Thanks,
RR

raru,

Run the app to be run from the others with command line parameters.

So App A would run it using Shell "App2bRun HelloFromA"
App B would run it using Shell "App2bRun HelloFromB"

Then When the App is running you can return the result from its Command$ function like;

TextBox1=Command$

Checkout Command$ in VB help.
