Command Button opens website using text from textbox

Hi there,

I would like to know how to create an event procedure for a command button that uses the text of a textbox to go to a specified website.

Example: User types "google" in a textbox, hits command button, and a web browser opens http://www.google.com.



Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
