Lew,
I haven't been able to reproduce an error in the VBA Command parameter,
but you can find the number of parameters in Command with:
Dim S
S = Split(Command, " ")
S(0) has the first parameter, etc.
Ubound(S) + 1 is the number of parameters

Subject: [Talk] Help with Command() in VBA
(Win2000, BWS 6.5 rev 118, VBA, working with Meditech Magic 4.9,
Meditech NUI Workstation and HSS WinStrat ver 0304 applications)
I want to pass a command line argument when I call my script from Boot
Manager. I am using VBA, and the only function I have found to use is
Command().
However, I do not want to require the argument(s). That is, I would like
to allow the script to be called, but not include the "/c" switch.
Unfortunately, if there is no argument passed to VBA, Command() throws
an error.
What I would like to do is get a count of the number of arguments that
are passed, and, if there are none, default some values, and go on with
the script.
I know how to do this in C with argc and argv, but I have not succeeded
in figuring out what to do in VBA. Perhaps use the error trap, but then
I would not know when I get a legit error or not.
Any suggestions?
