Jerry,

>>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

I do not know if this will work with ShellExecute, but the way you do this in HTML is [url target="_blank"], without the square brackets. This causes the browser to open the url in a new window.
