To All
I wish to create a local URL that will launch from an HTML e-mail like Outlook or from a document in Word .. I am testing this on my local machine in Word .. I want to add a /parameter to the end of the command line so I can trap it with the PARAMETERS statement.
PARAMETERS xTEXT line in my code .. unfortunately I can not find the correct syntax to to this ..
This works on my local drive to start the program ...
File:\\c:\fox\doi\leavtrav\leavew32.exe <-- this works
How can I add a /parameter to the end of the above File:\\URL and have it be a part of the command line
File:\\c:\fox\doi\leavtrav\leavew32.exe /projectid=12345
The above line only launches the program and does not pass the /project=12345 ..
What am I missing ??? quotations ??
Thanks

If I create this link \\sales\saliteprod\Leavew32.exe "Rick Lipkin" and run it in Windows Run
my program returns
Here is the code at the top of my program
xText returns the command line parameters ... So if you can run the above script ( unc ) in the Windows Run command you should be able click on the link and pass the parameter .. instead of the Windows Run..
I would appreciate any input!

Thanks for your quick reply ... I am not having problems with extracting the parameters when you cut and paste the entire link into the Windows Run dialog . I just can not get the parameters to resolve when the link is clicked. .. The executable starts and runs, but does not resolve the parameters .. has to be a syntax to make this work from a click rather than cut and paste.
\\sales\saliteprod\Leavew32.exe "Rick Lipkin"
Thanks

I am trying get your suggestion to work by using the function hb_Aparams() .. and as you know it creates an array ... and I have not been successful is evaluating the array
Leavew32 "Rick Lipkin"
Using the above example from the command line ...
The above code returns the number 1 .. and not the value of the array element .. I am looking to the result of "Rick Lipkin" .. which was the value of the command line .. appreciate your Help.
Thanks
