Web Browser

I'm afraid this is probably a rather stupid question, but I simply want to be able to launch a web browser (IE, whatever) in a new window. You all mention a web browser control, but I'm just not sure where to get this/how to make this. Thanks for your help!

Wow Juilette, thanks for the quick response. But could you explain to me what the use of the % means, and how/why success is able to change to success% ?
Also, if I already have a window open, it just replaces the page I had. Is there a way to get it to open in a new window?

Thanks again

% indicates a variable type. Long, I think.

Yeah, I figured as much. Thanks.

But does anyone know how to get the page to open up a new instance of the browser?

Thanks-

I've never used ShellExecute, but I would try changing the second param from "open" to "opennew". If ShellExecute works the way I think it does, then I am right, if not, then...

Thanks all- FYI, no, ShellExecute doesn't work with an 'opennew'. I found some info on it, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/periodic/period99/vji9904_shell.htm

And I decided I guess I can just open a new instance of IE myself, then run Juilette's code from up top.

Thanks for all your help!

Oh, I said this was a 10 point question, but now why is it showing up '1 point'? Did I miss something?

Thanks for the info on ShellExecute.

The point value is correct. Once an answer has been accepted, the points are divided by 10. Now others can get the answer by "buying" the PAQ. I suspect the amount is shrunk because the new looker doesn't know if the answer is definitely what they want.
