Opening a new browser window through VB/ASP .net

[NBartomeli]

Is there any way to open a new IE window through code in ASP / VB .NET ? I want to have the user click a button and have it open a new browser, pass a path and file name, and open a report. I can do everything other than open the new window. Thanks in advance

Hi
You want this
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("

http://www.microsoft.com")

I put that line in a command button Click sub (aspx.vb).. I recieved the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified

The above code is in VB .net
In the line you have error
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("

http://www.microsoft.com";)

don't put ; at end it should be

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("

http://www.microsoft.com")

Its working fine here for me
