command line Unplugged15-Jul-02 6:33 Unplugged 15-Jul-02 6:33  Is there anyway that I can pass a variable into a vb program when I call it. I want to do something like vbprogram.exe textfile.txt but I don't know how to receive the variable and stuff in the vb program. I know in C it's argsv. any help would be great.

Well, just like in C++, there are other "versions" of the main function: Sub Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) Function Main() As Integer Function Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) As Integer Just replace the default with the one you need. Re: command line Jeremy Falcon15-Jul-02 7:40 Jeremy Falcon 15-Jul-02 7:40  There's also the Command object. And, you can access it from anywhere in the program. It's a string containing what was passed on the command line after the executable's filename. It's up to you to parse it. Try this... MsgBox """" & Command & """" Then, compile it into an exe and run it from the command line passing whatever you want.

Can someone please suggest a way to overcome this. I'm not a VB coder. I'm unfamiliar with VB. I assume you could declare Tod O'Dell as a string as would in C++ and use the VariableName. e.g. C++ Example String VariableName = "Tod O'Dell"; Your help would be greatly appreciated Nathan Browne Re: VB code problem - string Ravi_Shankar14-Jul-02 21:27 Ravi_Shankar 14-Jul-02 21:27  Hi, In the criteria, put it in a variable and use Replace function to replace the single quote found with 2 single quotes. Please find an example below to use the same with SQL Server. Dim sSql As String Dim sName As String sName = "O'Leary" sName = Replace(sName, "'", "''") sSql = "Select * from authors where au_lname = '" & sName & "'" Debug.Print sSql Try executing the output of the above SQL statement in Query Analyser under Pubs database...

Johnson 14-Jul-02 22:07  As Ravi_Shankar pointed out (but not so clearly) the problem is that databases use single quotes (or apostrophes; your pick) to delmit the boundries of a string. In order to support the use of single quotes/apostrophes in a string the SQL specification says that a double-single quote/apostrophe '' is used (not "). So rather than the last line being "RequestTo = 'Tod O'Dell'" you need to make it "RequestTo = 'Tod O''Dell'" (note the use of the dobule-apostrophe) Hope that is a bit clearer for you James "Java is free - and worth every penny." - Christian Graus getting the user information devil66613-Jul-02 10:24 devil666 13-Jul-02 10:24  hi!! i want to retirieve the user information currently logged on to the system... the inforamtion whihc i want to reitrieve is group to which the user belongs comlete name this inforamtin is in actie directory so i have to get this from active directory.. would any1 guide me how to do this in vb.net regards Re: getting the user information Ravi_Shankar14-Jul-02 19:31 Ravi_Shankar 14-Jul-02 19:31  Hi, You can use the Environment Class to get the details...

Pradhip10-Jul-02 12:39 Pradhip 10-Jul-02 12:39  Hi Folks.. Im having a web form that has 2 select boxes.Now when one select box has a value chosen it must generate values for other select box.This can be accomplished by querying the dbase.Now to do this querying im using an ASP page. 1). My question is how do i run the ASP Page without it affecting the current window displaying my form?? 2). Now my 2nd select box has to be refreshed for it to be populated with the values that the ASP Page generates.How can i refresh that control alone without touching the other contorls or rather refreshing the entire page.. Can someone give me links to articles regd this sort of stuff.I know im using a round about method.. Regards Pradhip.S Why Need Parking lots in Bars when Drunken Driving is Prohibited
