Open a specific web page from a command button (1 Viewer)

[crann]

Hi need some help again guys,

I want to have a command button that when clicked opens a specific web page on a web site, i know i can insert a hyper link,. to the web page, but for presentaion purposes i want it to be accessed from a command button.

Is this possible, also i want to return to the database after viewing the webpage and not exit everything when i click close on the web page. (This is not my web page/site)

Any help greatly appreciated

I Tried

Use:

I tried this suggestion, i am getting a runtime erroe 409 appear.

At the moment i do not have any hyperlinks set up or and buttons linking to the web.

I only want my users to access a given web page through one command button on the Switchboard.

Any more help will be great.

Thanks

Try it with the HTTP:// at the beginning of the URL and I think it will work for you.

Private Sub cmdOpenLink_Click()

Application.FollowHyperlink _
    "http://www.liberty1st.org"

End Sub

Try it with the HTTP:// at the beginning of the URL and I think it will work for you.

Any ideas how i can return to the database once i close the web page, with out having to reopen the database, like when you open a word.doc from acess database, when you close the file it returns you back to the database.

Help appreciated

Try

Me.GuideStar.HyperlinkAddress = "URL"
Me.GuideStar.Hyperlink.Follow True
Me.GuideStar.HyperlinkAddress = ""

Where GuideStar is the name of the button control.
