You can check that the command line is being interpreted as you intend by prefixing the first parameter with an equals sign ("="). The "=" must be attached to the first command line parameter, no spaces separating them. If the first parameter is in quotes, the equals sing should be the first character after the opening quote.

This will cause the program to display the command line parameters in turn in a message box, without the equals sign on the first one. If you are entering string parameters with spaces, that must be surrounded by quotes, displaying them can be a useful check that the quotes are in the right places if you do not seem to be getting the expected results. Once you have confirmed the parameters are being accepted correctly, remove the equals sign for proper use. Note that the full path to the program is displayed before the lst of command line parameters.
