Does any one have code to Open a URL from a BlitzBasic or BlitzPlus app?

You mean like execute a web browser? If yes then you would use:
ExecFile(Chr$(34)+"http://www.whatever.com"+Chr$(34))

Yes, thats what I needed! Thanks Ked.


Ked(Posted 2007) [#4]
No problem.

Just pointing out you can also use:-

ExecFile(\"mailto:someone@...")

To fire up the users default email client, which is real handy sometimes! :D
