Linking URL to an image control

[grrs]

Hi Guys,

New to VB. I would to link a URL to an image control. When user clicks on image it needs to open that(linked) web page. Can anybody help me in writing this code.

Thanks for your help.

<a href="http://www.vb-world.net"><IMG SRC="http://www.vb-world.net/images/vbworld.gif"></a>

And if you want the link to go somewhere else, set the target.

<a href="http://www.vb-world.net" target="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://www.vb-world.net/images/vbworld.gif"></a>

^This will open it in a new window.

I am not trying to open that link from a web browser. I got an VBA application wizard where I put the image control. When I click that image it needs to open the web browser and go to that url address.

I am not sure. I don't think it has anything to do with Shell.

Oh, because I thought maybe it'd be something like this:

Private Sub Image1_Click()
Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IExplore.exe http://www.vb-world.net", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Thanks very much Matt. It worked.

Wow, I just guessed :rolleyes:.
I figured VBA would have the Shell function :).
And Image1_Click..also a guess. Didn't know that was there.

I remember seeing VBA at school though. Didn't know how to work it though. I guess I'll ask my teacher and hope she knows. She probably doesn't, but than again, a lot of teacher's teach computer classes and don't know sh*t about computers :rolleyes:.
