Steve,

Yes, it can be done. You need to use the WScript.Arguments collection. For example,

Dim cPath, args
Set args = WScript.Arguments
cPath = args(0)

Just one question, why not use the WScript.Shell object to run the script file? That way you only have to pass the fully qualified name of the script file. You can optionally pass the window and and make the caller wait for the script to complete.
