Hello all, While experimenting with this, I discovered the following:
If you want to use the "||W" (waiting) parameter with LAUNCH of a url, then you need to use: LAUNCH 'iexplore|url|W' or the "||W" will not work. E.G. LAUNCH 'iexplore|http://Rbase.com|W' Also, you can use the "-k" parameter to open a full screen window with no access to the internet explorer menus. E.G. LAUNCH 'iexplore|-k http://Rbase.com|W' Regards, Stephen Markson The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada 416.979.2431 x251 > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen > Markson > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 9:29 AM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: LAUNCH "URL" > > Thanks Dave, yes, it's in Internet Options, General Tab, Tabs, Settings, > Open links from other programs in:.
