navigate

[Joel Allen]

Hello,

I use some code in my custom form to navigate to a website like this:

Set objWeb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objWeb.Navigate http://www.msn.com
objWeb.Visible = True

However, I want to use Mozilla Firefox instead if IE. Can someone help me
with the code to do this?

Thanks,
Joel

One way is to retrieve the installed path of the Firefox .exe by looking
through the keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet.
Take a look at the \shell\open\command sub key for finding the executable
name. Then use Windows Scripting Host to launch that application with a URL
as the argument.
