shellexecute() not work...

[LoneRanger123]

I have this code...

ShellExecute(0,"open","C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe",NULL,NULL,0);

now, that compiles okay, but when i run it it doesnt do anything... iexplore.exe doesnt run.

I have XP, and my m8 has 2k, and it dont work for him either, is that why? and if so what other commands can I use, I want it to run seperate from my program, and I dont want my program to wait for a response or anything.

its set after a button click so I know it is ran

1. Check if the IE location (c:\\progra..) is correct.

2. Try to call the function with "Handle" parameter (I assume you are using BCB!!!). Like this:

ShellExecute(Handle,"open","C:\\Program Files\\Internet   Explorer\\iexplore.exe",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

3. Check the eventual error

ShellExecute

returns (the return value is integer, if that value is > 0 then error ocurred). Bye, Rolandfg
