Creating a web browser control in an Access Form that uses Firefox

Try changing the Class Property of the WebBrowser control from:
Shell.Explorer.2
to:
Shell.FireFox.2

Hi, I tried changing the class to shell.firefox.2, but it still opens with Internet Explorer.
Do I need to change the OLE Class from Microsoft Web Browser to something else?
Thanks
Paul

How are your detecting what version the web browser is opening under?
I don't know of many websites that "Only" appear when accessed via FireFox.

In other words can you clearly define what: "only works with Firefox." ...means specifically with regard to opening the website and viewing the site.
Then clearly explain what Firefox allows you to do that IE does not.

Is this a website you can post a link to here, so that we can try to replicate this issue?

Hi TheHiTechCoach,  no I don't  know how to install the Mozilla Activex Control
 Can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks,

Ok, sorry, I had missed the first post about installing the Mozilla ActiveX control.
So I did that now, (I downloaded Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12, then  ran it, then did this:
Type "regsvr32 mozctlx.dll", which succeeded.
I then put the mozilla control on my form.

I put this in the on Enter event of the form:

Private Sub MozillaBrowser4_Enter()
Me.MozillaBrowser4.Navigate "http://www.google.com"
End Sub

When I open the form now all I get is a white box where the browser should be.  (When I'm in design mode for the form, and I click on the form where the browser should be, it turns bright green and says "Miozilla Control" .
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

<I put this in the on Enter event of the form:>
No, you put it in the On Enter event of the browser control.

You should instead put this on the Open event of the "Form", just to verify that it works...

Okay, we're making progress
 now it's giving the error message, "browser in not in a valid state"

Excellent!  So I put the navigate code in a button, and everything works now Except--the size of the browser in only about 2" by 2", even though the size of the control on the form is over 10" wide. Any ideas on how to make the browser fill the full space?

Thanks for all of the help!!
