Razzak, Thanks for pointing the way on this. I saw within the form the choices you pointed to in the tip of the day below. I did use the CHECK_WEBVIEW2 and received the OK stating I had that program. I then changed the choice to EDGE_IF_AVAILABLE in the object on the form. Unfortunately the link still comes up blank. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Do I also have to add actual code in order for them to use a different engine (most use Chrome)? This is all new to me.

Jim, The underlying Internet Explorer is no longer available on the computer with Windows 7. Edge is now the Underlying Web browser. Please review the below Tip of the Day, and the "Browser Engine" section at the following URL for your requirements to use the Web Browser form control on the new computers. https://www.rbase.com/support/rsyntax/property_webbrowser.html Tip of the Day: Edge Support for Web Browser Form Controls Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5) Build.........: 10.5.4.11007 or higher Sections......: Forms Keywords......: Web Browser, Engine, Edge, Data Folder, IE Did you know that the DB Web Browser, Variable Web Browser, and Web Browser form controls were enhanced with a new "Engine Type" property to specify the browser engine (Internet Explorer/Edge) for displaying web pages? With Edge being made the default browser in newer Windows operating systems, and Web Browser form controls being based upon Internet Explorer, users and developers now have the option to specify the underlying browser. Also in the properties is the Edge data folder that may be specified for the session information. To use Edge as the browser engine, WebView2 Runtime must be downloaded and installed, and files must be placed accordingly. Please look at the help file instructions for the appropriate Web Browser control. Allowing users and developers to transition the engine more easily type for Web Browser-based forms, by not having to modify all forms, application-wide PROPERTY commands have been implemented: GLOBAL_BROWSER_ENGINE - <NO_PREFERRED|IE|EDGE|EDGE_IF_AVAILABLE> Specifies the Web browser engine to display web pages globally for the session GLOBAL_EDGE_DATA_FOLDER - <path> Specifies the folder location where Edge places the session information, globally for the session PROPERTY APPLICATION GLOBAL_BROWSER_ENGINE EDGE PROPERTY APPLICATION GLOBAL_EDGE_DATA_FOLDER C:\Temp\EdgeData To check if WebView2 Runtime is installed, which is required to use Edge for Web Browser controls, a CHECK_WEBVIEW2 parameter for the GETPROPERTY command has been added. The result is either OK or NOT FOUND. GETPROPERTY APPLICATION CHECK_WEBVIEW2 'vWebView2Install' Very Best R:egards, Razzak.

We are upgrading each of our computers to the Windows 11 OS. On the computers that have been updated to Win 11, we are now having a problem with a web browser object not working within a particular form. This web browser object points to the URL for the company, taxjar. In this manner, taxjar calculates sales tax. On each of the computers that have been upgraded, the web browser object no longer brings up the taxjar website within the web browser object. All we get is a blank area where the web browser object is located on the form. Below is the URL. https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator/ The web browser object still works with RBASE X5E. Has anyone heard of this happening to web browser objects when computers are updated to Win 11?
