Hi there.

I have a small VB6 script that I would like to run from PP5. I want to pass the document name from PP5 to VB6. This is the VB6 line that needs the variable document name:

Set oDoc = oApp.Documents.Open("C:\VP Process\documents\%1.doc")

I put in the %1 as one of your examples shows, but it doesn't seem to work. Anys suggestions?

Thank you.

You can get the values of watch variables into a Vb script by using the ExpandString function
e.g.
str = Watch.ExpandString("%1")

Actually, for variables 1 through 9, you should use watch.getjobinfo(n), where n is a number from 1 to 9.

Stuart's technique is correct as well but it is more costly in terms of CPU cycles as the expandstring function needs to parse the string before returning the value.
