IM8 Connecting with an EXE

[Ernie Ploof]

Hello,

We have reports for an application that we distribute in an InfoMaker
executable. We are looking for a different way to connect to the
database when launching the IM exe. A preferred way would be to run
the exe passsing it a command paramter (that could be a DSN or some
other thing that held connection information). I've seen some options
that you can use for passing parameters to an exe but nothing like
this. Is this possible? Is there another way to get the connection
information without using the ini file? Sometimes are application can
be running in a Citrix environment that could possibly be connecting
to several different databases. The only time we know for sure which
database we should connect to is by the calling application.

Any input or recommended solutions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
