>The problem is there are only 2 parameters you can pass from command line -- output file name and recompile. My guess is he wants to automate this process without opening the PM . Maybe he wants to do programmatically what the PM does visually. The only way you can do that is with the code I posted earlier.

Hi Mark,
True enough.

But the original message (and the subsequent replies) only talk about automating the ouptput filename (path+filename) parameter. Since cOuptputName is passed by reference to the event, he could prepend the directory to it everytime and simply return, letting VFP handle creating the EXE in the new directory.
