I tried using the Shell Execute function listed in Rick Strahl's "Internet Appplications with Visual FoxPro 6.0, but it didn't seem to work, or else I just don't know how to get it work.

What does work, however, is his second suggestion using the COM interface:

o=CREATEOBJECT("Shell.Application")
o.Open("Http://www.mxdesign.net")

This pops open a Internet Explorer Browser which then goes to the site.

However, if you have Netscape defined as your default internet browser, it pops open both of them. (and gives an error dialog as well, saying "can't find one of the components...blah blah blah). I would love to fix this problem, as the client that I'm using this method for has Netscape as their default browser.
