Accessing a webpage from a Sesame database

Hello:

I am sure there must be a way to do this. I am looking to add a command button to one of my forms. If the user hits the button, I would like Sesame to open up the external browser with a specific website as indicated in the programming for this command button. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

The command you are looking for is @AsynchShell.  @AsynchShell is a command that allows you to open a file or application by passing in a file path. This command can be used to open a browser, load a document in a word processor or as part of a larger routine.

Programming Examples:

Code
Select All
View_Website :: On Element Entry

// This example gets the web address from an element named Website
var vBrowseWeb as Int
     vBrowseWeb = @AsynchShell(Website)

// This example uses a hardcoded webaddress
var vBrowseWeb as Int
     vBrowseWeb = @AsynchShell("http://www.lantica.com")

Kevin,

See the topic thread "Passing @Asynchshell both application and data" in these discussions.  There are some differences in which command to use, depending on exactly what you want to do.  For instance, @ASynchShell will automatically pull up the default browser, which might not be MSIE.
