I am trying to create a word maco to create tables. I wanted to pass no of
rows and columns as command line arguments when starting the macro. I tried
using 'GetCommandLine' function provided in the Visual Basic help in Windows
2000. But did not help. Is there any other way to achieve this ?

Thanks,
Nandini

Hi Nandini,

too often I've read about problems using this approach.
So I abandoned it altogether. Why not using
a txt-file, that holds all the parameters you need,
and much more then a commandline can handle.
Have the macro read the information it needs from the txt-file.
And might be easier to maintain, too.
