Hello!

How do I shell execute a web browser (lets say Fire Fox or Internet Explorer) with dbc to open an address passed by db? Is it something like execute file "firefox.exe","www.blabla.com",""?

And what would it be if I want fire fox to open a html file?

I'm geussing to open a html file you could just call Execute file on the html file and it will open in the default browser.


for telling firefox to open it probly the same as a web page because if you type a address of a place on the computer in the address bar it will come up. so it's the same as a address to a website.

Open website with the users default web browser:




To open with Firefox you would need to be 100% sure that the user has Mozilla Firefox installed. Perhaps you could probe the Windows Registry using Get Registry()?


[EDIT] @Comet
Just re-read this post. Was your question answered? Or were you after launching a website only in a particular browser? In which case this will do it for Internet Explorer:



You should keep in mind that your end user might not have a particular browser installed or installed at default location. So you'll have to do some testing if you want to go this route. Hope that helped you
