Startup log file for specific MXD

[StuartPidgeon1]

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 Stuart,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

Thanks

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
