Hey, how do programs do it when they bring up a url in your Internet Explorer? I mean I would like to know how I can click a button that would bring up a webpage. Help?

Well if your wanting to do it in a DOS program the following should work:
system("start http://free2code.net"  ; // you need to include the <process.h> header file.
in most cases this should load the address in your registered browser. However I'm not sure about how to do it from a windows program, but it would probably be very simple in VB.

it's not all that simple in vb -- you have to do an api call. i've got a vb sub that i wrote that uses a couple api calls to either open any file or url you give it, or display the 'open with' dialog. hmm . . . maybe i should submit that
my mind is like a steel trap! it only hangs on to the big stuff. visit my forums at track7.org

Well, I actualy had a script from a book that would execute programs, but couldn't get it to open URL's, so I'll give that one a try.
