<div>
why not make s a PChar<br />
<br />
s : PChar;<br />
s:=application_path+'trefa<wbr />ch\trefach<wbr />.htm';<br />
shellexecute(handle,'open'<wbr />,s,nil,nil<wbr />,SW_SHOW);<wbr /><br />
<br />
and make sure that s contains<br />
<br />
application_path\trefach\t<wbr />refach.htm<wbr /><br />
<br />
and not<br />
<br />
application_pathtrefach\tr<wbr />efach.htm <br />
<br />
Works for me<br />
