Bret,

On my website is an article (Q&A, General, qGEN010) showing how to use ShellExecute(). It'll open whatever default browser the user has set.


>I have the following in a procedure for one of my menu choices:

>LOCAL oIE
>oIE = CREATEOBJECT( "INTERNETEXPLORER.APPLICATION" )
>oIE.Navigate( "http://ammo-eng" )
>oIE.visible = .T.
>
>This runs internet explorer OK but will not work in the real world because I make the assumption that they have IE. Does anyone have any VFP code out there that figures out from the system (the persons computer) if they have a browser and how to call it with the parameter of http://ammo-eng, so the persons own default browser will come up and show the web page.
