Open Firefox from a Browser

[Petzl]

I am trying to get ACT! by Sage to automatically open and I have an add-on that will allow me to grab GPS coordinates from 2 fields in ACT! and open up a browser with Google Maps.

This works fine but after opening Google Maps it then opens a 'Save As' window which I have to shut. It is just annoying is all. Anyone have any thoughts on how to stop it? Command line I am using is:

firefox "

http://www.maps.google.com/maps?q={Opportunity

Field 1},+{Opportunity Field 2}"

Opportunity 1 and Opportunity 2 are the fields that need to be passed on and are working correctly.

Thanks,

Petzl

Hi

No Save As window here in FireFox 5.0.1 when trying your command.

It may be some addons' side effect. Is there any difference without them ?

firefox [highlight]-safe-mode[/highlight] "[ignore]www.maps.google.com[/ignore]/maps?q={Opportunity Field 1},+{Opportunity Field 2}"

Hey Feherke thanks for the response.

I had been working on it too long and took a break. I then had another crack at it. Command line worked for me as well but it was only when running it though ACT! that it had an issue. Changed the format and it worked:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

http://maps.google.com/maps?q={Opportunity

Field 1},+{Opportunity Field 2}

Turns out it was a lot simpler than I thought........I do appreciate the response though. Sometimes it pays to step away from things!! ;-)
