I am using the ShellExecute api in a VFP Windows application. When a user press a button in my WinForm, I call ShellExecute and pass a URL to open a browser and display the website/page.

This works fine except that ShellExecute will use either any open browser to display the page or open the default browser to display the page if a browser isn't open already.

Is there a way to force ShellExecute to always open a new browser to display the page and ignore any open browser? Or is there a better way to call IE and pass it a URL to display?

Thanks,

Jerry
