In 2003, you can get your command line args using code like this

For Each S As String In Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
            MessageBox.Show(S)
        Next

keep in mind that in 2003, the first command line arg (argument at position 0 of the array) is always the full path to the exe that is running.

How do you get command line parameters in VB 6.0?

i think u better post this question in the classical vb6 section

Thank y ou

[kleinma]

in VB6 you can see the command line arguments in a string with this

MsgBox Command$

You have to parse it yourself.
