Hi Einar,
Thanks for your reply.

Am I right then , say if you wanted to pass 3 paraneters you would call the program like:
MyProg.exe "Param1","Param2",100
(Asuming first two are Charcater parameters and third is Numeric

And in main calling mehod it would be something like:
(Pardon the incorrect syntax)

static void Main(string[] args)
if args[0] = "abc" { do something}
if args[2] = "def" {do smoethingB}
if args[3] = 100 {do something}


Just as I am writing this I notice i have a mix of types in the parameters !!is this going to cause a problem having 2 character parameters and 1 numeric .... can you have this in C# as you can in VFP ?


Regards,
Gerard
