Re: [NF] Vendor specifically excluded IE for their app
IE6 was horrendous. 7 is only slightly better; 8 finally seems to be making progress. But even 8 is way behind the other choices. Here are the only 4 reasons to ever use IE: http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2009/11/04/reasons-internet-explorer/ 5. The state developmental disabilities service agency requires all service providers to use a MS Dynamics-based application that only works on IE, for all forms of required paperwork. This is the kind of stuff that drives the system. Small-time people can't choose to do something else because the big fish make decisions like this. It happens all the time.

Re: [NF] Vendor specifically excluded IE for their app
Now all of this is all very well but how do I avoid IE (if I wanted
to) when using VFP
For example, several of my modules use the statement
loIE = Createobject('InternetExplorer.Application')
Is there an alternative ?

Sure there is an alternative.

And

And
