Opening a browser from PowehouseNT

[Joe Boyle]

That is so cool; I have looked at the dos help summary in the past and
always assumed that 'start' simply opened a separate command/cmd window
only; when you type 'help start' you see the full scope of the command - I
also found the 'call' command very useful in batch processing.

Regards, Joe.

I've had success with the "start" command in NT - it seems to know where
to find these pesky migrating applications.

So "start iexplore http://www.cognos.co.za" issued as a Run COMMAND (you
can test these from a DOS Box) seems to work.

So does "start notepad" "start wordpad" "start dir.cmd" (where dir.cmd
is an NT .cmd file with some instructions).

And so on.

Regards

Neil

That worked....I had to modify it slightly...but it worked perfectly.
Here is the code I used for everyone to see

PROCEDURE DESIGNER WEB &
          HELP "Calls Internet Explorer with the clients address"
BEGIN
  LET T_PASS_PARAMETER &
    = "c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe " &
    + TRUNCATE(InternetAddress OF Clients)
  RUN COMMAND T_PASS_PARAMETER ON ERROR CONTINUE CLEAR ALL NOWARN
END

Thanks Joe.

you could also try something like that below ( replacing your own path
for
iexplore.exe ). I'm not entirely sure if the thinclient vs fatclient
problem
is an issue here, which, as is the case with thinclient Axiant, could
mean
that the command executes on the PH server - and hangs.

You would have to add a designer proc and id, or setup the Fkeys to run
the
designer procedure, (which someone explained how to do a while back)

Let run_command = &
"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " + fieldname

run command run_command

Regards, Joe.

If you're running QUICK in a Command Prompt Window, you should be able
to drop the menu down and click Mark. You can then select the text. Then
go back to the menu and click Copy. At this point you should be able to
paste the text into IE.

Has anyone seen/solved this problem yet?

I have an internet address field in my client file. I cannot highlight
the field to be able to cut and paste it into my browser so I was
wondering if:
A) anyone has a solution for this cut and paste problem 
B) anyone knows how to call Internet Explorer with the address in the
field from within the PowerhouseNt application.
