hi try the following code on Click event of any control

' Specifying 1 as the second argument opens the application in
' normal size and gives it the focus.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1) ' Run Calculator.

This uses the Shell function in VB to open any exe.
Hope this is what u looking for

Regards
Niraj

That's not what I am looking for. I am looking for a web browser Hyperlink, not an exe.

Thank you for your repsonse though.

Look up ShellExecute in help. There will, I'm sure be a good example. What you need to do is to ShellExecute your htm file. This will start up whatever browser you have a default, and show the page, whether local or Internet Peter Meachem

The way I do it is to hava a label, then in its on click event have:

ShellExecute me.hwnd, "open", "Link Address", vbNullstring, vbNullstring, sw_shownormal

And set the label to blue and underlined or whatever (I also set the Mousepointer property of the label to a pointy hand).

Hope that helps.
