Can I pass some info to a VDS program when launching it, like a command line opiton or something in the shell command? If so, how do I capture that info? I'm using VDS4.

Never mind! I found the answer here:

Hi Mark,

Any switches passed into the program can be read with %1 thru %9. for instance:

test.exe /opt1 /opt2

%1 will be equal to "opt1" and %2 will be equal to "opt2".

Good luck,

Hooligan

Funny, but with the hundreds of VDS programs I've written over the years, I never really needed this until today.

Most of the time I needed to pass complicated stuff, so I always just wrote it to a file which I then read with the next program. For today's issue, that was not practical. I'm passing callerid to a customer order look-up program.

thanks gang!
