Passing data to excel on open
 

If I have a shortcut that has has a workbook as a target then can I also
pass a number to the workbook from the shortcut by have a parameter after
the target file name?
for example: if I have in the target of a shortcut
C:\book1.xls "1234"
then is there anyway for me to retreive that number (1234) during the
workbook.open event.

Thanks for any help.
