Browser Control
In a recent project, I opend an html file by clicking on a button on one of my forms.
I used this and it works:
--------------------------
Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
option explicit
--------------------------
Private Sub mnuFilePrintPreview_Click(
'The purpose is so reports can be printed.
Dim stFile As String
stFile = "C:\TESTFILE.doc"
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", stFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 2
End Sub
--------------------------
Now I am trying to acces a website using the same code as above, but It does not even open internet explorer.
What do I need to open an internet site by using a Click Event???
