how do i specify IE's default web site into this sub......

[tim900000]

Hi,

At the moment, ie is opening with the site in the code below. What code should I use to get ie to open on the site which is the default home page?

Thanks for any help...

Private Sub mnuBrowser_Click()
Dim lngReturn As Long
lngReturn = Shell("start http://www.msn.co.uk", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub

1) find out what is the dafault browser on the user's machine. It's in Registry here: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\opennew\command"
or here: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\opennew\command"

2) then just run it

For example on my machine Registry contains this text "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". So, I do:

lngReturn = Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", vbNormalFocus)

or you can do this
lngReturn = Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.msn.co.uk, vbNormalFocus)


always works for me

I think you've missed the problem which is: "Run default browser without providing any URL."
