Dont worry about that property, just call the navigate() method of the IE object and pass the URL as a string. For example, if your test.htm is in the root of your C: drive:

loIEControl.Navigate("file:///c:/test.htm")

Check out Ken Levy's site (www.classx.com) - there are two downloads: webexplr and SCREENX. Both of these are good examples of how the IE control can be used in applications.

>All I'm trying to do is to display an file (test.htm) that is located locally. I don't need a http connection or anything. Seems like I shouldn't need a server installed. What do i set the serverinstalled property to?
