I have created a forms PSF project that i am using to update customers. The form is what I call an MultiBankUpdateMgr" that is used to extract a zip file, that contains an update PSF project, that I call "DepositsUpdate" that does the actual update.

The MultiBankUpdateMgr calls the DepositsUpdate, and I need to pass a filePath parameter called multibankXmlFilePath to the DepositsUpdate program.

I would like the DepositsUpdate to be an exe file, but am willing to do anything to get it to work. No matter how I try to pass the parm to the project, the DepositsUpdate says the parameter is blank.

I have tried:
Start-Process Powershell.exe -ArgumentList " -noexit -File `"$startProg`" '$multibankXmlFilePath' " -Verb runas
Start-Job -filepath $startProg -argumentlist $multibankXmlFilePath
Invoke-Command -filepath $startProg -ArgumentList $multibankXmlFilePath
Nothing works.

I have attached both projects to this.

You need to have a parameter block in the startup.pss file and then pass the parameter again to the Show-OnboardUpdate_psf reference function.

I recommend reading the following articles:

Passing parameter to a packaged executable:

Passing parameters to GUI forms:

I was able to get that to work. Thanks.
