Hi!,

I'm using ShellExecute api to launch different documents through my vb application.
The application is based on ActiveX documents that are viewed through browsers.

So when my application launches files like *.html or other web files. It opens documents in a browser (ok so far), but in the same browser meant for the application. This is not wanted and crashes the application.

Is there a parameter in ShellExecute api which orders to open documents in a new browser. Or is there a workaround for the problem.

Any suggestion appreciated!!!
