I have need for a menu option in VFP that will (externally) launch a given folder in Windows Explorer (aka My Computer of File Manager) to allow the users to find a file or files.
Until now I have gone through IE to do this:
oIE = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.Navigate("\\XXXXXXXXXXXXXX\SHARES\QA\Qdms2000\archive\Level1")
oIE.VISIBLE = .T.
This works OK on XP - you get a flash of IE before the proper folder opens in Explorer. Unfortunately in Win7 it opens IE and then LEAVES it open before opening the file.
Is there a better way to do this directly?
TIA,
Phil Thomas
