O.D. ;
Here's one possibility.

do openit with "MyPage.html"

And this worked for me too:

do openit with "http://www.rmpc.org/wrapper/index.php"

E.L.

///OpenIt("c:\whatever.txt")

Function Openit(cFilename)

#define SW_SHOWNORMAL 1
#define SW_SHOWMINIMIZED 2
#define SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED 3
#define SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE 4
#define SW_SHOW 5

if type("ShellExecute") #"FP"
  extern cHandle   ShellExecute(cHandle, cstring, cstring, cstring, cstring, 
CINT) shell32 from "ShellExecuteA"
endif
nHandle=ShellExecute(0,"open",cFilename,null,null,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

return nHandle>0

How many times have you been told to check the dUFLP?

Look in MISCAPI.prg in the dUFLP for OpenURL()

I've searched the OLH and the newsgroup and the DUFLP and I can't find any info
on how to do this.  I just want a menu option in my dBase program (2.61.3) that,
when clicked, takes the user to a web page.

Run(true,"MyPage.html") does not work.  

I'm sure somebody has figured this out and I would appreciate any help
available.

Apparently not enough times!(Grin).  I looked in the DUFLP, but just not in that
particular file.  I am building my own list of features that are buried inside
other DUFLP files.  Yes, I know about the DUFLP menu screen.

Thanks, Ken.

Thanks, Eric .  That's a neat routine.  We need a CD (or DVD) of all Romain
Streif's routines.
