how to open file in default web browser? (2000/sp3)

I’ve got a database that can output a bunch of data into an HTML file.. It’s all generated through code (no reports or pages)…

How can I have a button open the generated file in the “default browser?” I don’t want to hard-code a call to RunApp() with a particular browser or path…

thanks!

In the on click event of the button, enter the following :

Me.MyCommandButton.HyperlinkAddress = “c:MyHTMLFile.htm”

Replace the name of the button and the name and path of the file with yours.

Any way to keep Access from minimizing itself when it opens the hyperlink?
