passing parameters to sub-projects and environment variables

[daveronson]

Thansk, your sample worked fine (and cleared up a misunderstanding about this). This led me to try a few things.

It took a bit for me to figure out what was different. The difference is when I use the VisBuildCmd app I am running it from a scheduled task. I have a scheduled task that passes some macros (e.g. var1=value1 var2=value2) that in essence override the project level macros. The macros I pass in are definitely the ones that give me trouble.

The reason I set it up this way was so I could have different build configurations (eg. target environment, branch vs. trunk builds, etc.) all pre-configured in scheduled tasks. I just need to run the one I want or schedule it to run at night.

Anything you can think of to accomplish this?
