Hi,

I have an ini file ... owl.ini
which looks like..
..........................................................................
[PatientList-01]
1=005987 Smith,Mr Desmond
2=005901 West,Mr Denis
3=003199 East,Mrs Lynette
4=009981 Street,Miss Renee
5=009947 Boot,Mr Anthony
6=009158 Reel,Mr Piet
7=
8=
9=

[User-01]
Account=009151
Patient=009158
...........................................................................

The result I would like to achieve is to have an exe file which can do the same job as this Bat file If I run piet.bat file with the following-
C:\CSNImage\TW.EXE “-PC:\Images\009158-NPiet Reel”
this command then launches a third party app but with details from the main client program.

THE TRICK IS THOUGH THAT I WISH TO FORCE THE COMMAND LINE TO CHOOSE THE CURRENT PATIENT SHOWN IN SECTION...

[User-01]
Patient=009158

WHERE OBVIOUSLY THE PATIENT NUMBER CAN CHANGE.

where
1)  -P is a parameter for where to store images EG C:\Images\009158
2)  -N is a parameter for Name of client eg Piet Reel

ANY HELP IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED

RICHARD
