Jerry,

Instead of ShellExecute explicitly manipulate IE as an object.

loIE = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")

see message#1172480

>We have a VFP9 Windows app that displays our customers information. We want to create a button that will open a new IE window and pass the current customer ID to our ASP.Net web app.

>Below is what we are currently doing. This works but if there is a IE session currently running, the below will open the new URL in a new tab in the current session of IE. This causes problems such as cookies being overwritten etc...
