Rocky,

 Below is code to grab the value you pass in with /cmd on the command line.

 Call GetCommandLine() in your startup form.  You can optionally pass an
argument on the number of parameters you expect to see.  If you don't, it
assumes up to 10.  The procedure assumes a space or tab delimits an argument
unless it's within quotes.

 Once you've done that, then anytime in the app call GetCommandLineArg()
with the argument number to get it's value.

 Here's an example of that:

          ' Main processing loop for app
          ' Check command line passed:
          ' P1 - Job/Customer:
          '      'ALL' - Process all defined jobs (Customers).
etc
