Gary, Just had a few minutes spare to sort out finding out if you use "Program files" or "Program files(x86)"
#DEFINE CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES 0x0026 LOCAL cSpecialFolderPath, cPath cSpecialFolderPath = space(255) DECLARE SHGetSpecialFolderPath IN SHELL32.DLL ; LONG hwndOwner, ; STRING @cSpecialFolderPath, ; LONG nWhichFolder SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, @cSpecialFolderPath, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES) cPath = Alltrim(cSpecialFolderPath) cPath = SubStr(cPath,1, Len(cPath)-1) Messagebox(cPath,0,"USING SHGetSpecialFolderPath") Should return "Program files" on Windows 32 bit and "Program Files(x86)" on 64 bit Hope it helps Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Jeurink Sent: 09 August 2011 15:32 To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: RE: call different browser Thanks, that makes sense and it is as I suspected. My main mistake was to upgrade to I.E.9. Gary Jeurink From: Frank Cazabon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 6:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: call different browser OK, what the code is doing is just passing off the file/URL to the Operating System and telling the OS to open it. This is just like if you clicked on the file or url in Windows Explorer. The easiest way for it to be opened in FireFox is to set FireFox as the default browser on the PC. Frank.
