ShellExecute

I was standing in the park, wondering why frisbees got bigger as they came closer... then it hit me!

Here is how I use ShellExecute to call the default browser and open a specific web page. In a module declare the API,

Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
        ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
        ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Then, where you need it, place the code to use ShellExecute,

   Dim l_lngRetVal As Long
   Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

   l_lngRetVal = ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, "[URL unfurl="true"]www.google.com",[/URL] vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Replace '

http://www.google.com'

with your URL.

Making CHM files and associated HTML stuff - look in faq222-2088 and faq222-1111

There may be some useful info there

If you set a reference to Microsoft Internet Controls (SHDOCVW.dll) you can instantiate an InternetExplorer object like so:

Dim obj As InternetExplorer
Set obj = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application&quot

You can then use the Navigate method to call either HTML or ASP files.

Good Luck!

Have a great day!
