Hello, me too...
Here is one solution...
[Quoted] I have this on a when button pressed trigger..... DECLARE
  the_command VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
  the_command := '"C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe" www.abc.com';

Synchronize;
Host( the_command, NO_SCREEN );

END; there are other ways... You may want to build a procedure from this that takes the string as args...
[Quoted] I tested this and it works for NT 4.0 Netscape 4.0 check your paths ect. and browser.

[Quoted] Note: There are other ways. Look up WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in online help.. [Quoted] It is supposed to work but I haven't had any success..

Good Luck.... Received on Fri Dec 12 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
