Hello, You don't need an active X, you just have to use the exec command. Like this on a button by example : Exec("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://forums.mrplc.com"), JC Edited 10 Sep 2009 by acpi

If you try to use ActiveX, then the easiest way is to use the WebBrowser control. Documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa...28VS.85%29.aspx It's a specialized captive version of IE. In practice, it's fairly easy to use and has the advantage that it is on the page and since the controls are normally hidden (unless you expose them), you have 100% control over the captive webbrowser. There is tons of documentation on this object and the online configuration built into the object isn't half bad either.
