How to Open up a HTM file with VB

[marcin2k]

I want to be able to open up a HTM file in my internet explorer on a click of a command button. Lets say my path is "C:\test.htm"

Thanks for the help, its probably a one liner that i don't know about yet.

Private Sub Command0_Click()
    Dim strURL As String
    strURL = "C:\test.htm"
    Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & strURL, vbNormalFocus
End Sub

If you don't know the location Internet Explorer then use
[tt]
Shell "RUNDLL32.EXE URL.DLL,FileProtocolHandler " & strURL, vbNormalFocus
[/tt]
