Thank you Razzok, Bruce and Tony. I learned there are several solutions to my problem. I used Razzok's, only because it is so simple for the specific problem I was solving.
Bruce, don't know how I missed the "Link Label" property during my search through the list o properties. In the back of my mind I thought this property existed - I just didn't look close enough at the icon "hints". For educational purposes, I also used your guidance to create the same link using this property, and tested it. Tony, I dissected the form WEBBrowerProperty to understand the Web BRowser property used within this form, and learned about some new PROPERTY and GETPROPERTY commands. Thank you all for sharing your Sunday with me. I am guessing your weather must be as bad as it was here in Seattle today. Richard -----Original Message----- From: A.

While in Form Designer place a Static Text with the Static Text Properties as follows: A. Caption: Type anything as you see fit B. Under Miscellaneous tab, check the option for [x] Use Label to run EEP C. Click on [Edit Custom EEP ...] button D. Type the exact URL as follows: LAUNCH https://www.yourdomainname.com RETURN E. Click on [OK] button to save EEP 02. While in Form Designer, click on "Run Form" toolbar button or Use [Shift+Ctrl+F9] keys to Run the form 03. Click on Static Text with Caption to LAUNCH the URL. See attached screenshots for step-by-step instructions. That's all there is to it! Hope it helps!
