Sorry, but what is it you want to do? By "sending it's name to EXE file" do you mean as a command line parameter such as 'command.com /c "copy one.txt two.txt"' or a Standard I/O transaction e.g. CGI or a DDE transaction such as with MsWord?
If you can tell us exactly what you want to do we might be able to help ;)

No, just got back from a French oral (at the time).
