2 New Member
Hi,

or is it possible to call a system commands through javascript so that we can try to open a local machine system command for IE open.

No, you can't do this. It's a huge security risk.

No, that's a huge security risk. If any browser allows scripts to run other applications on a user's computer, that allows hackers to run anything on anyone's computer.

I am currently migrating over from VB6 and I can't see to find a way to launch a webpage in internet explorer from a hyperlink on a form. There must be an easy way to accomplish this? I tried: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Explore.exe", "http//webpath") System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http//webpath") Shell("InternetExplorer.application") all attempts failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
