Opening a html file from VB

[jbrowne]

Hi all,
I want open a html file in the browser directly from a VB program as if I double clicked on the html file. Whats the best way to do this ?

Don't know if it's the best way but I came across this messing around:

You'll need to load the Microsoft HTML Object library in your VB project. Then:
dim htmlFile as HTMLDocument
set htmlFile = new HTMLDocument
htmlFile.url = &quot;<file path and name>&quot;

This opened the file in an IE window. I'm only just starting to look into HTML so I really don't know if this is the best way (or the correct way) - you may notice that I have my own similar question in this forum!
- just thought it may help
