Hi, I'm new to the forum and was hoping you guys could maybe help me.

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not but here goes.
I want to write a small app that can receive parameters passed to it by another delphi app using the shellExecute command. Executing the second app is not a problem but how do receive/catch the parameters that were passed?

Thanks in Advance

I don't know any delphi, but i believe you use the variable ParamCount for the amount of parameters, and ParamStr is an array of strings, containing the parameters.

You should see the documentation of Delphi for that or search for tutorials...
I've never worked in Delphi...
