Xero,

Can you explain for what is for you an external file. Is that a file that is
not on this planet or something?

And with what do you want to open it?

How do you display an external file to the user in vb.net?

What file type?

When user clicks a menu item, I want to launch IE and display a *.htm file.
Thanks again.

Jeff,

You can set in your click event this
\\\
im p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
pi.FileName = "http://msdn.microsoft.com"
pi.UseShellExecute = True
p.StartInfo = pi
p.Start()
////

I hope this helps?
