Hi Tony,
Can ProSteel and SuperBeam be started with parrameters? ie "C:\Program Files (x86)\SDA\ps5.exe /a /b /c/ d" where a,b,c & d are the Project Details 1,2,3 & 4.
It will save me typing it in twice (Once into my jobs database).

Thanks
Steve

Currently the only accepted parameter is a project file name. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do, but if you're looking to more quickly create a new project file you might be able to do this by taking an existing file, deleting everything you don't want, saving it as a template and modifying what's left as required each time you use it. SuperBeam and ProSteel project files are basically text files with marker lines denoting the start and end, the data being represented by key=value. You don't need to be a retired MI5 officer to decode them!
