i replaced the file association, and tried it on a different pc to my devbox, and by doesn't read i mean that the string contents i enter at the start when declaring the string ("this didn't work") is still the contents at the end and indeed after the command arguements should've been read into the sting, the only other thing i could think of is maybe the way that i am distributing it?

hi, yeah that didn't work I am wondering am I using the correct manor for extracting this information, the line that should read the command arguments reads,

dim str as string = environment.getcommandlineargs()(1)

and I am using a console app, don't know if that is an issue.

I feel like it is strange that it works when I drag a file over the program to run it, but doesn't if I associate the program with it? (and to confirm I have now re-associated the film extensions and still no luck!)

thanks again!

And you think that people appreciate hijacking of questions in order to market your product?

I'll try it again, and it's already set in the setup package, like I say I'll try it all again and get back to you, thanks!

I can read C# so get off the high horse...I choose to write in vb, because any other language confuses me when I have a lot of vb to code

Yeah, what I did was create a string variable to store the directory and upon creation it has the value "did not work" and then this variable contains the command line arguments when they're read, however they're only read when I drag the file over the program to open it, not when I open it with the file extension after publishing,

Thanks!
