There's a launch mode -- can't remember the name or number -- that writes out a temporary .html page, and then launches it via the shell. That's a pretty simple way of handling these kinds of things. I'd like to make it possible to configure which browser .exe the user wants to use, in association with the temporary-page launch, but I haven't figured it out just yet. There's also the problem with IE's security features; depending on where from a page is launched, it may get the lockdown restrictions, and the browser will run in a cramped mode. - Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users DQSD-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
