easiest way would be:

ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("_browser http://www.autodesk.com ")

A more difficult way would be to use the Microsoft Web Browser Control.

 

[Ed Jobe]

Or this:


Public Sub Browse(Optional URL As String, Optional winstyle As
VbAppWinStyle)
'opens IE in last WinStyle if WinStyle is not supplied

'Nav to home page if url is blank
If Not URL = "" Then URL = " " & URL
'make sure your path to IE is correct
Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & URL, winstyle
End Sub

The only thing is that is is hardcoded for IE, but thats all we use. But it
has the advantage over the Browser command in that you can specify the
winsize.

Public Sub Browser(URL As String)
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute URL
End Sub

If I remember my HTML correctly,
URL = "http://www.domain.com/page.htm#bookmark

 

[Tony Tanzillo]

I want to link a htm file instead of a URL.

A URL is just a string that identifies a file somewhere
on the internet or your local computer or network. It
can be the path/filename of an HTML file.

To link to a bookmark inside a page, just use
"filename.htm#bookmarkname"

but i failed.
