>Sorry, Michel ... I missed where you said you had already checked for the existence of oStartupEventArgs. Checking the Count of the CommandLine would have been my next suggestion. <g> Glad you got it working. =)

Yes, I finally adjusted the framework to have something like this:

Public Class App
    Public Shared oStartupEventArgs As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs
    Public Shared aStartupEventArgs(10) As String

    ' Initialize
    Public Shared Function Initialize() As Boolean

                ' Command line parameters
                If Framework.App.oStartupEventArgs.CommandLine.Count > 0 Then
                    For lnCounter = 1 To Framework.App.oStartupEventArgs.CommandLine.Count
                        aStartupEventArgs(lnCounter) = Framework.App.oStartupEventArgs.CommandLine.Item(lnCounter - 1)
                    Next
                End If

    End Function

End Class

So, I can reference it from the application such as:

        ' See if we are in auto mode
        If UCase(Framework.App.aStartupEventArgs(1)) = "/AUTO" Then
            StartConversion()
        End If
