Not sure if first reply went through, as the auto companies retool the new technology surfaces. Recent advances in the processor now give us tag based addressing, a very big leap that took 20 years. Yes they do lag in technology, but even a small plant @ 500K square feet is $100 million just to build, tooling adds another $100 million or so, a final assembly plant runs into the billions. Yes its behind the times, but getting better, in 10 years I may not have to deal with DDE, and some suppliers have already abandoned it, but some of us still have to just deal.

What makes you say that?

DDE is stil used in Autoplants, its legacy yes, but the consequences of changing it would be BIG bucks.

I am not sure, we are trying to build this 'stuff', and keep running into a wall. Some of the source is .NET (ours), and some is VB6 and .NET.

Regardless I have to make it work, and am looking for other sources that will not give us these problems, but...

I did not explain myself enough, there are several 'projects' across the application. And what I am trying to do is provide a global solution. My concept is to provide an argument, use that argument to set a boolean to true, then use that boolean in each 'project' for the same function.

What I think you are telling me is that I have to parse the command line in each project, a bit more work. I must admit I was hoping for a more glamorous solution when in the IDE.

A second issue is if the application is executed by windows, I am assuming the command line args will not be present.
