Error trying to open .mht file (1 Viewer)

[shenty]

Hi all, long time no post.

Just tweaking a few things in a database and stumbled across an error.
I've been using this code:-

    Dim mySTR As String
    mySTR = DLookup("MapLocation", "tblFileLocations") & Me.ContNo & ".axe"
    Application.FollowHyperlink mySTR, , True

on a couple of buttons to open a link to a stored .jpg or open a stored MS Autoroute file or open internet explorer to multimap & search a postcode automatically.

Once on multimap i save the map location as a .mht file preceeded with a contract number. These are stored in a network location.
I wanted to use the same code to open the stored xxxx.mht file but get the following error:

"Multimap API has not been configured to run on this URL"

Clicking OK on the message then proceeds to load the file in a fashion with the 'red' circle but no map image with it !

Anyone have any ideas why ?

Thanks in advance.

Check out the ShellExecute method I am using to open a file in my Browse [Find a directory or file] sample. Maybe that will work in your situation.
