Opening website in explorer
Hello all.. I am trying to open a website in a web browser by calling explorer to open, however, when I set a longer website with other characters such as = and ? I get a can't open. I realized that for those websites I must have it execute in the following format (example):

explorer "http://forums.aspfree.com/newthread...=newthread&f=38" (Notice the quotes)..

however, I do not know how to make that appear like that through the VB code..

I tried "explorer 'http://forums.aspfree.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=38' " but it doesn't work .. it must be a " and not a ' ...

How would i get that to execute with a " in VB?

Anyone know?

This is actually for an Access 2003 application.

Thanks,
ovadoggvo

Thumbs up This is what I use and it works
Dim objIE As Object
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate "www.admirals.nl"
objIE.Visible = True
Set objIE = Nothing
