VB has an internal variable called Command$ that will hold any command line arguments sent to your app. It's entirely up to you to specify the "rules" and verify the syntax of any arguments sent.

To test your code, you can have VB send a command line every time you start your app...

To do that, click on the 'Project' menu, the last item should be <your project name> Properties. Click on that, then click on the 'Make' tab. Near the bottom, there's a textbox called "Command Line Arguments". That's where you can put your test command lines.

So, if you find that box and enter 'This is a Test' in the box and run this code, you should see a message box that says "This is a test"

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox Command$
End Sub
