Opening HTML Page from MS Access

[ACG via AccessMonster.com]

I am using MS Access 97 and am trying to open an HTML
page (or internet / intranet page) from a module that is
running. I can get it to work by putting a hyperlink on
the form and allowing the user to 'click' on the link,
but what I really want is for the code to just start up
Internet Explorer and open the page. I have done the
same type of thing with word and excel using the Shell
command but can't get this to work and open the url I
want.

Thanks and any help would be appriciated.
