Opening another program from within MS Access

[Guest]

I need to open another program (non-executable) from within MS Access. The
SHELL and RunApp commands seem to be reserved for *.exe programs. How do I
open other types of programs from within Access?

Specifically, I am trying to open an HTML page generated by a medical
imaging instrument.

Thanks!

There is certainly no need to apologize. I just wanted to make it clear that
i DID try to search for an answer first. Your English is perfectly fine.

Visual Basic is not my first language <G>, I am an Optometrist, not a
database professional, so it will undoubtedly take me awhile to work out a
satisfactory solution.

The FollowHyperlink command does put me on what appears to be the right track.

Thank you again.

I'm sorry if I sound to direct, english is not my first language, and I
noticed that its your first post, so I thought I should mention it.
I didn't direct you to the post because I wrote what in it, so there was no
point directing you to it.

I hope the post helped you, and again I'm sorry.

Take a look at the ShellExecute API. There's a complete example at
