How do I open a web page?

[Max Moor]

Hi All,
I want to open a webpage, either from a macro or VB. I don't have to
write anything out to it, or read anything back from it, I just want the
default browser to open and go there. There must be a simple way, but I'm
not finding it.

Thanks, Max

Try using the FollowHyperlink command. If you enter your website as
"http:\\www.yoursitehere.com" in the place for Address, it opens the site in
the default browser. There's an example in VB help.

If you are using the click event of a button, image or label, you can use
the HyperlinkAddress property of those controls for web addresses, files,
etc. (A Label has to be an independent stand-alones or the necessary
properties & events won't appear. It can't be "attached" to another
control.)

HTH,
