 How to open web pages from VB application

I was wondering if there was an easy way to send a URL from my VB5
application to the default browser. I don't need to interact with the
browser, I'd simply like it to go to the URL.

Thanks

Just use the ShellExecute() function. If you need help on how, just ask me.

I can do that if I know the path to the browser. What I'd really like to
do is let Windows figure out which browser to use and just send it the
URL I want it to open.

I figure there has to be a way to ask Windows to open the default
browser with a particular URL.

If you know of a way to do this with the Shell function I'd appreciate
your help.

Thanks

My apologies. You were correct. I was able to figure out how to use the
ShellExecute() function to do this. I was originally looking at the
Shell() function built into VB. That was my mistake.

Much Thanks

why do that when you can create your own browser, use the Internet
Transfer Control.
Ive always found SendKeys to be...mmmm... inconsistant.
