You can use SHELL and simply add the command line parameters...

Default Re: calling an exe file and setting parameters

A very simple example is running Notepad and passing it the name of a
text file to open.
<pre>
Shell "Notepad.exe FullPathAndNameToMyText.txt"
</pre>
In this case the filename is the passed parameter.

I think therefore I am... sometimes right. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
