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.
 
Sometimes you should try and look for the answer in prev posts
There an answer given by Rick

Application.FollowHyperlink "Your URL"
 
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.
