How to find if a session is already open in a browser
Posted: 20 Jul 06 11:30 AM

fiogf49gjkf0d Hi
I have a command button in the Account Screen that opens a browser with a URL. When the user clicks the button again it opens another browser rather than using the already existing browser. Is there a way to accomplish this.
Thanks

fiogf49gjkf0d Where are you launching from? By Account Screen do you mean the web client or the fat client?
Can it be modal? If the fat client, just launch a form with a browser control in it rather than launching a browser externally.
If this is the web client, take a look at the how the schedule phone call menu item works.

fiogf49gjkf0d I use this approach in another application. Try something like...
Dim ie
Dim sw
Dim shellApp As Object
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim sProp As String
Dim vtPropVal
Dim rptURL As String
rptURL = "http://www.mysite.com/reports/myreport.asp?itemnum=" & ItemNumber.Value
bFound = False
sProp = "MyProperty"
vtPropVal = 101 'any value
'see if our report browser window is still open
If bFound Then 'found it
ie.Navigate rptURL ' load report
Else 'not found, open a new browser window
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate rptURL ' load report
ie.PutProperty sProp, vtPropVal 'mark this window as ours
End If
