Lou,

This is a custom exe in C#.net

Use "Session.UserID" and you can pass it as a command line argument.  At least that's how I do it.

Hello John,

This appears to not work.

Shortcut Properties

Shortcut Target: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.BIOWORLDMERCH\My Documents\Testing Arg within MAS\TestApp.exe

Name: TestApp

Start In:

Arguments: Session.UserId

I created a simple vb6.exe to verify your solution...

Private Sub Form_Load()

   MsgBox Command$

   Unload Me

End Sub

When I run the exe, the messagebox display Session.UserId instead of the valueOf.

I can't figure out how to add an attachment to one of these posts, but if you send me an email, I can forward you a document we used at a presentation on adding .Net apps to Sage 500. It's a few years old and uses VB.Net, but perhaps it will help.

Hey DZ  If you still haven't gotten the answer check out mas500dotnet.codeplex.com as it has examples and instructions on how to create VB .NET Winform tasks for Sage 500.  If you do it in C# or come up with other cool things for building .NET apps for Sage 500 feel free to add to the content. :)

I also found an old thread on the partner site between myself and Wei LI who is a Software Engineer at Sage on how to create WPF applications for Sage 500 which run within a session.  The technique s slightly different than a WinForm app.  If you are interested the link is sagecity.na.sage.com/.../29984.aspx.  If you cannot get to this, let me know and I'll do an article about it and post it to Codeplex.
