Query on passing file name as parameter to Web Publishing Wizard

Greetings!

We are herewith presenting our query on passing a file or folder name as a
parameter to the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard as follows:-

Background:

We have developed a software application using Visual Basic 6.0 (for the
Front-End GUI) and MS Access (as the back-end database) that allows a user to
build, store, and organize a databank of information in any format (questions
and answers, vocabulary, humor and so on) by well-defined classifications.

Query on passing a file or folder name as a parameter to the Microsoft Web
Publishing Wizard

We wish to implement the functionality of the Microsoft Web Publishing
Wizard (available in Windows XP) in order to 'publish' the files residing in
the 'data' folder of our application, to the web. For doing this, we are
accessing the Web Publishing Wizard in the following manner:-

1) In Windows, click Start-> Run. The Run dialog box appears.
2) In this dialog box, type rundll32 netplwiz.dll,PublishRunDll and click
the OK button to continue.

The Web Publishing Wizard is launched. Once the Next button is clicked, the
second screen of the Wizard shows the files and/or folders residing in the My
Documents folder of the user's computer which the user can select and
'publish'. Here, there is no option for browsing and selecting the files
residing in any other folder. What we wish to inquire that is there some way
by which we can pass a file and/or folder name as a parameter to the command
rundll32 netplwiz.dll,PublishRunDll, so that when the Wizard is launched, its
second screen will display this file and/or folder respectively.

We would look forward to your reply at the earliest.


Regards,
