I am trying to pass parameters from a VFP Exe to a FPD exe. I am using dos shell for my method to fire off the exe. My parameters are variables.

VFP6 Code (EXE)
-------------------------
strParam = 'Test Param'
blnParam = .t.
dteParam = {11/30/2001}
numParam = 15

!/n fpdtest.exe strParam blnParam dteParam numParam

FPD Code (EXE)
-------------------------
param strParam, blnParam, dteParam, numParam
------------------------------------------------------
What end's up happening is instead of capturing the value of my variable parameters, it captures the name of the variable itself.
Instead of 'Test Param' it is capturing 'strParam'

How can I pass and capture the value of a variable and not the name?

Thanks in advance,
Ben
