Hi Sergey, Borislav and Naomi,

Here is my test code with an example long URL;

lcURL = "http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T&ct=us/7-0&fd=R&url=http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article%3FAID%3D/20080406/NEWS01/80406034/1003/news&cid=1148779392&ei=3Ez6R4TdNqiSwwHsmvCmDg&usg=AFrqEzeDJ_6u2AjFqilgY9BzF0luu4qVyw"

  DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32.DLL ;
    INTEGER nWinHandle , ;
    STRING cOperation  , ;
    STRING cFileName   , ;
    STRING cParameters , ;
    STRING cDirectory  , ;
    INTEGER nShowWindow

? SHELLEXECUTE( 0, "Open", m.lcURL , "", "", 0 )

Error code is 42.




>I'm pretty sure that there's a limit but I doubt that it's that small. What error do you get? Can you give an example of URL that doesn't work?
