Dear R:BASE Community,

R:BASE for Windows supports many command line switches and startup parameters, that will customize the method by which R:BASE launches and is initially displayed, for
both development and end user control.

The switches and parameters are specified after the executable name within the "Target:" field, when reviewing the R:BASE desktop shortcut properties. When multiple values are
specified, each must be separated with a space.

With R:BASE X (Version 10) for Windows, several new switches have been introduced:

-FS
Forces the display of the R:BASE X splash screen, even if it is set to not be shown
in the Startup Options, or if "-S" is used

-S
Opens R:BASE in silent mode, where the splash screen is hidden even if it is set to
be shown in the Startup Options

-X
Does not load the Database Explorer, R> Prompt, or R:BASE Editor, even if the modules are set to be shown in the Startup Options. This parameter has a lower priority than ­C, -P, -L, and -E. For example, the editor will be shown if both ­X and ­E is used.

-RBACKUP
Specifies R:BASE will open only as R:Backup. When this switch is present, other switches meant for R:BASE are ignored. R:Backup specific parameters include the
following:

   -S
    Runs R:Backup in silent mode

   -R
   Runs an R:Backup project

   filespec
   Specifies the R:Backup file (.rtb) to be loaded or executed


In addition to the above, there are many other command line switches and startup
parameters to customize how R:BASE can be launched.

Refer to the "Desktop Shortcut Properties" chapter within the "Reference Index"
of the R:BASE help manuals for additional information and examples.
