Re: Call an html file from form 4.5

You can do this multiple ways:

1. Use HOST command and pass the URL and the windows environment will pickup the default browser and open that URL.

ex: HOST('http://mydoc.html');

2. You can use winexec built-in available in D2KWUTIL.PLL library in Developer 2000 and call the netscape/ie as per your wish. Using WINEXEC will not bring up a DOS window like the HOST command does.
