Hi Jerry,

I am sorry, but I remembered wrong, my way opens an already open IE window, if one already exists. So, it works just like your code. However, if you want it, here is a very simple code:

xx=CREATEOBJECT('hyperlink')
xx.NavigateTo('yourURL')

>Which hyperlink object do you add to your form? I added the label object from the VFP FFC\_hyperlink.vcx class library and it does not have a NAVIGATE() method.
>
>THISFORM.MyHyperlinkLabel.NAVIGATE() did not work.
>
>However, I can fill in the CTARGET property to make it work that way.
>
>Thanks,
>

>>>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?
