Hi All,

I am hoping the collective minds of this VFP think tank can help me solve a little problem I have. Hopefully I just overlooked something simple.

Here's the problem. I have an application that needs to accept a path as a parameter. It can be run from a shortcut or from the Run command. An easy example would be:

C:\sample\test.exe C:\sample\data

This works fine. However, going to a long path is causing some problems. If I do this:

"C:\Program Files\Sample\test.exe" C:\Program Files\Sample\data

This of course would pass two parameters, separated by the space.

If I do this:

"C:\Program Files\Sample\test.exe" "C:\Program Files\Sample\data"

Then it bugs out on the LPARAMETERS statement in the application (Syntax error).

I found by wrapping double quotes around single ones, I found a way to get it to work:

"C:\Program Files\Sample\test.exe" "'C:\Program Files\Sample\data'"

However, this method looks awful and it causing problems with my clients installation program.

Is there any other way to approach this problem?

Thanks!
