Visual Basic Command Line Arguments

Retrieve Command Line Arguments from a Microsoft Visual Basic or an executable program developed with Visual Basic from Command Line

Sub Command_Line_Call()

sCmdText = Trim$(Command$)

' You can give multiple parameters through command line with specific delimiters

arCmdData = Split(sCmdText, ",")
If arCmdData(0) = "PRG1" Then
Exec_PRG1 (arCmdData(1))
ElseIf arCmdData(0) = "PRG2" Then
Exec_PRG2 (arCmdData(1))
If arCmdData(0) = "PRG3" Then
Exec_PRG3 (arCmdData(1))

    You may wish to try this instead:
    arCmdData = Split(sCmdText, ",")
    If arCmdData(0) = "PRG1" Then
    Exec_PRG1 (arCmdData(1))
    ElseIf arCmdData(0) = "PRG2" Then
    Exec_PRG2 (arCmdData(1))
    ElseIf arCmdData(0) = "PRG3" Then
    Exec_PRG3 (arCmdData(1))
    End If
