Hi,

Place an edit box and a button on a form and try this:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShellExecute(0, 'open', 'iexplore.exe', PChar(Edit1.Text), nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
end;

where the link is entered in Edit1.

Regards, Geo

I really doubt that. ShellExecute works on all Windows versions. IExplore.exe is the name of the program to execute and it is always in the search path. If this crashes then the other one will crash too. That means something important in the OS is missing.

no i mean with crashes, when you execute that code, that page can be opened on any IE window that is opened, not in a new window.

Every time I press the button I get a new IE window opened. But that's enough - you got your answer.
