Looking For A Solution For Customer Relationship Management Software
Q: In posing this question, I am hoping someone can jump start me in the right direction. I have never had the need to program this solution so I am somewhat vague in how to procede. I have a simple program that reads a SQL database and prints a manifest based on the manifest number entered by the user. What I need to do is have that manifest number passed to the program from another source. Our company uses Customer Relationship Management software from Pivotal. From within this environment I can "launch" my VB Apllication. I need to be able to pass the Manifest Number from the Pivitol environment to the VB Application. My problem is not knowing how to except the parameter on the VB side. If more detail is needed to understand my needs please let me know.
A: Launch your exe using the exe name followed by a space and the manifest number. In your VB app, check the returned value of the Command function. It should hold a string representation fo your manifest number.
