Hi Ed,

>Unless each action has a unique executable associated with it, he'll also have to include a parameter that his app can sense to know what action to perform.

Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks for juming in.

>If it's a VFP app, it's best to encapsulate the %1 in quotes; VFP parses the incoming command line and will treat spaces embedded in a file name substituted for %1 as separators unless quote encapsulated.

Isn't this just what I said. ;)
