Help with closing window
I have designed a program in Visual Basic 6, when a form opens it has a series of buttons, one of the buttons opens Internet Explorer and displays a Web Page. The problem is that i have a hyperlink to close the window in the web page, a message comes up generated by Internet Explorer saying "The web page you are viewing is trying to close the windows" This then lets you click yes or no to close the window, any ideas how to get rid of this?
Thanks people

That is the IE behaviour, unless you using window.open to open the web page.
how do you open the IE window in first place?

This is what im using: -
Private Sub showacp_Click()
Dim FileName As String, Dummy As String
Dim BrowserExec As String * 255
Dim RetVal As Long
Dim FileNumber As Integer
BrowserExec = Space(255)
FileName = "C:\temphtm.HTM"
FileNumber = FreeFile
Open FileName For Output As #FileNumber
Write #FileNumber, "<HTML> <\HTML>"
Close #FileNumber
RetVal = FindExecutable(FileName, Dummy, BrowserExec)
BrowserExec = Trim(BrowserExec)
If RetVal <= 32 Or IsEmpty(BrowserExec) Then
MsgBox "Could not find associated Browser", vbExclamation, _
"Browser Not Found"
Else
RetVal = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", BrowserExec, _
"-k http://nbcintranet/applications/circulars/file.asp?ID=78", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
If RetVal <= 32 Then
MsgBox "Web Page not Opened", vbExclamation, "URL Failed"
End If
End If
Kill FileName
End Sub
Private Sub showacp_Click()
Dim FileName As String, Dummy As String
Dim BrowserExec As String * 255
Dim RetVal As Long
Dim FileNumber As Integer
BrowserExec = Space(255)
FileName = "C:\temphtm.HTM"
FileNumber = FreeFile

MsgBox "Could not find associated Browser", vbExclamation, _
"Browser Not Found"
Else
RetVal = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", BrowserExec, _
"-k http://nbcintranet/applications/circulars/file.asp?ID=78", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
If RetVal <= 32 Then
MsgBox "Web Page not Opened", vbExclamation, "URL Failed"
End If
End If
Kill FileName
End Sub
