Thread: WebOpen() issue with FireFox

WebOpen() issue with FireFox Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

We have several buttons added to forms that use the WebOpen() function to call a web page with specific parameters. Basically the call looks like this.

Application.BasicFunctions.WebOpen(strURL)

All works fine when IE is your default browser. But if your default browser is FireFox this is the problem we are running into when it opens FireFox.

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/Common Files/SYSTEM/MSMAPI/1033/-requestPending http://www.somurl.com/search/index.xhtml?query_string=Business

Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix the issues?

Thanks,
John G.

OK. That is bizzare.

An alternative to using WebOpen is to use the Shell object to basically "Run" the URL. This will cause Windows to open the URL is whatever the default browser is.

See http://saleslogixblog.com/rfarley/archive/2004/02/10/331.aspx

ie:

Sub Main
    Run "http://www.google.com/search?q=slxdeveloper.com" 
End Sub
 
Sub Run(ByVal sFile)
Dim shell
 
    Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    shell.Run Chr(34) & sFile & Chr(34), 1, false
    Set shell = Nothing
End Sub

It might or might not give the same result, but at least this way you'd have more control over what is happening.

The code that keeps on giving. Thanks so much for this code sample. I have used it in several ways today. Skip Google. This is now my first stop information.
