OS is windows server2003 standard running IIS as web server.

if i remember right the code works
by using the shell command to execute RunDLL32.exe.

Code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib _ 

                          "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _ 

                          (ByVal hwnd As Long, _ 

                           ByVal lpOperation As String, _ 

                           ByVal lpFile As String, _ 

                           ByVal lpParameters As String, _ 

                           ByVal lpDirectory As String, _ 

                           ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long 

                                

Private Const SW_SHOW = 1 



Public Sub Navigate(ByVal NavTo As String) 

  Dim hBrowse As Long 

  hBrowse = ShellExecute(0&, "open", NavTo, "", "", SW_SHOW) 

End Sub
