Hi, many thanks to Yas and whoever it was who pointed me to the (many) Visual Basic pages. if you want to launch internet explorer without recognfiguring your tables (ie if your application is writing html text or vrml ) then I can recommend the API solution: Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Integer) As Integer sub yoursubname Dim nReturnValue As Integer nReturnValue = ShellExecute(0, "Open", "c:\your_html_file_here", "", "", 1) end sub if you want to associate many html/vrml files with your data, then the hotlink tool(s) the one to use. regards R Brit.
