using variables in RDP programs

[Michael Scholz]

Hi,

I think the problem is that the variable could be only used in a credential object / connect-task. It's not a "global" variable as you used it in an external application.
As an easy way to see how a variable is resolved is to just create for example notepad as external app and use the variables as "Arguments" for example "%MyVariable%.txt". On starting notepad as external app it asks you to create the text that contains the resolved variable(s) or not. This way you see if the variable will be resolved.
