[AccessD] Retrieve command line arguments

Dear List:
 
I want to run a function in an application (emails out reports)
automatically.  I see that one way to do this is to use the /x switch on
startup to run a macro which will run a module which could have
Application.Quit at the end of it.  But I can't seem to get this to work.
And besides, I'm under the impression that macros are not PC anymore.
 
Anyway, if I can 'see' the startup switches on the command line that calls
access and starts the app,  I suppose I could intercept al the startup
housekeeping, run the reports, send the emails and exit.
 
Is there a way to see what the command was that started an app , IOW
retrieve the command line arguments ?  Or is there a better way to do this?

 
The automated email sender has to be part of the larger app - originally it
was split off for development purposes, but now, it's part of the design
that it should be integrated into the application.

MTIA
