Mark,

See http://berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/opening-url-default-web-browser
The URL would be

lcAddress = "Dublin, Ireland"
lcUrl = "http://maps.google.com?q=" + lcAddress

>I have a customer who wants to know if it is possible to have a button on a form that when clicked opens a browser and goes straight into google maps searching for an entry in a field. What is happening is that they always enter the town name in address field3 and they need to look some of them up on google maps, the button would facilitate this on one step
