You don't need hyperlink control. See http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/opening-url-default-web-browser

>I am using the VFP Hyperlink control in a VFP EXE build with VFP 9.
>
>A grid in the app contains a list of files available to the application. When the user double-clicks on a row of the grid, the grid dblclick method builds a full path to the file and calls the hyperlink's NavigateTo() method to open the document. The EXE works just fine.
>
>I have been using a VS2005 deployment project to create an MSI to distribute this application for a long time. That usually works fine as well. Except this time.
>
>If I copy the EXE directly to the user's program files folder, the app works just fine. In particular, opening a document via the hyperlink control.
>
>However, if I use the MSI/SETUP.EXE to install the EXE to the user's Program Files folder, the hyperlink control doesn't work. Double-click on a row in the grid, and nothing happens.

>Is there something that I need to install to make this work?
