    A more difficult way would be to use the Microsoft Web Browser Control.

    Or this:


    Public Sub Browse(Optional URL As String, Optional winstyle As
    VbAppWinStyle)
    'opens IE in last WinStyle if WinStyle is not supplied

    'Nav to home page if url is blank
    If Not URL = "" Then URL = " " & URL
    'make sure your path to IE is correct
    Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & URL, winstyle
    End Sub

    The only thing is that is is hardcoded for IE, but thats all we use. But it
    has the advantage over the Browser command in that you can specify the
    winsize.

  5. Public Sub Browser(URL As String)
    CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute URL
    End Sub

  7. A URL is just a string that identifies a file somewhere
    on the internet or your local computer or network. It
    can be the path/filename of an HTML file.

    To link to a bookmark inside a page, just use
    "filename.htm#bookmarkname"
