VBA, command line arguments

command line arguments

Davi #1 / 5	command line arguments Hi, how can I get the command line argument in a VBA script used when opening a word document. Let say I open a document using: winword.exe mydoc.doc param1 param2 Is it possible to retrieve the string "param1 param2" in the Document_Open() sub? If it's possible, will I get the parameter even if Word is already opened when I open my document? Thank you very much, David.

Dave Peterso #3 / 5	command line arguments I don't have an answer, but I think he's looking for stuff like this: 3 Add a startup switch to the end of the path. To start Word and prevent add-ins and global templates (including the Normal template) from being loaded automatically, type /a This switch also prevents setting files from being read or modified. To start Word and then load a specific Word add-in, type /l addinpath To start Word without running any AutoExec macros, type /m To start Word and then run a specific macro, type /mmacroname This switch also prevents Word from running any AutoExec macros. To start Word without opening a specific document, type /n To start Word and then open a document as a template, type /t followed by a space and the name of the document.
