Using OneNote CLI /new switch "magoo" <i.am.magoo[ at ]gmail.com> 12/1/2008 9:52:07 PM Hi folks, I assumed that with the /new switch I could create a new section with the specified parameter as name. All I get is a new section with the name "Section 1", no matter what I add. Can anyone tell me what to do here? And if a pro is on the way: My final goal would be to create a sheet within a fixed section. Is that possible at all? -- Regards magoo

The filename parameter must include the disk and folder path and a unique file name with the .one file name extension. If the specified file name already exists in the target folder, the number in the section name is increased incrementally (for example, if New Section 1 was the specified file name but the file already existed, a file named New Section 2 would be created)." The parameter only specifies the file name of the .one file. There appears to be no option to specify the section name. -- David Olsen www.powerbits.com.au "magoo" <i.am.magoo[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:gh1mab$92c$01$1[ at ]news.t-online.com...

Re: Using OneNote CLI /new switch "David" <david.powerbits[ at ]nogmailspam.com> 12/2/2008 2:54:50 AM If you are into PowerShell you could download the OneNote Provider: http://bdewey.com/2007/07/18/onenote-powershell-provider/ And then use commands similar to these to create any section or page names you like: new-item -path OneNote:\Technical\MySection -type section new-item -path OneNote:\Technical\MySection\MyPage -type page -- David Olsen www.powerbits.com.au "David" <david.powerbits[ at ]nogmailspam.com> wrote in message news:eVwoMuAVJHA.4372[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
