J Wynia thanks....
I found that if I use the following I get a new window, and I'll review your
code below..
From a the Windows run line....
run: iexplore.exe
http://myserver/mywebapp/mailrem.aspx
I may also try to put a literal in my aspx page that can do the following.
-- re-direct to a new instance browser chromeless window and the required page
-- go back one to restore the original browser window to the previous web
application
I'm not sure what's so confusing my users run a windows application for their
CRM processes, which I can cmd buttons to launch other programs or an internet
browser.
These users are also usually logged into one of a few websites for our business
service partners and they don't like being logged out. They'd prefer a new
browser window.
I have many times launched chromeless windows from w/in my own web app for
clients that run one single web app, but this client has no less than 4 to 6
windows open to their service providers.
I'll post my best solution state when available....
Thanks again...
