Question : Hyperlink an IP Address - Access 97

I have an IP Address field on my form.  I would like a command button that will open a brower with http to the IP Address...

For example, http://10.19.192.168  <---- would be the line in my web browser.

Any idea's?

Answer : Hyperlink an IP Address - Access 97

I tried it with Access 97, got the same results as you. Interestingly, it appears to work fine if you pass it a FQDN, as opposed to an IP address.

Try this:

Public Sub testit()
Dim i As Integer
Dim progstr As String
Dim url As String
url = "http://10.19.192.168"
progstr = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
i = Shell(progstr & " " & url)
Debug.Print i
End Sub

Hope that helps.
