Startup log file for specific MXD

Question

The how-to guide for creating a startup log (How To: Create an ArcMap startup log) is potentially useful but I'm trying to investigate issues with opening particular MXDs.  Is there a way to run this and specify a particular MXD to open?  I've tried arcmap.exe <mxd path> /log but get an error saying the file can't be found, even though the path displayed in the error message is valid.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Darryl

No, I’m afraid I never did.  In the end more pressing matters came up, plus there was never a response to the post.  It would have been useful to do though, as there were a couple of MXDs that would frequently but inconsistently crash for some users but with no explanation, so I was trying to find any information I could.  It’s not a high priority for me now though.

Regards,

Stuart
