What is the code to use in a bat file to accept 2 paramters passed to it. Ex: A USER ID and a Password.

Not sure if I understand your example exactly, but to write replaceable parameters into a batchfile, use the convention %1 %2 %3 and so on, up to %9 if you need that many.

If 2 parameters are being passed, then should the 1st line in the BAT file read as follows: %1 %2

Here's a little demo:
@echo off echo What you've typed to run this batch: %0 echo Your first argument: %1 echo Your second argument: %2

I try run shellExecute(handle,nil,PChar('c:\samibk.bat '),PChar('192.168.2.4 lk123 142hdd C:\SAMIBACK.SQL'),nil,SW_HIDE), and I have a samibk.bat c:\mysql -h%1 -p%2 -u%3 samidb>%4
But the result is "% is not a valid application Win32 valid" in Win98 but in 2000 and XP it's OK.
What's wrong?
How can I run .bat with parms using shellExecute in Win98/95?
