Wait a sec, searching... I had this in the simplest program provided by VBWORLD!

... Search in progress...

Oh and damn, cant find it... I'll post it back later, Im at school and dont have all my programs here... And I cant seem to remember the function by heart!

You could however, add a control to browse...

And use the
VB Code:
```
WebBrowser.Navigate PathAndFilenameOfHtmlDocument
```

Try searching for WebBrowser:

For all of you in need it's your friend in deed! Here is the code to display Web Pages offline in a Web Browser control:

'WebBrowser must first navigate to a HTML file.
WebBrowser1.Document.Open
WebBrowser1.Document.Write rtfEdit.Text
WebBrowser1.Document.Close

Stay tuned to find out how to display ASP pages offline!

HOLLA!!!!!!!

NOTE: This should work with any type of text box. Sorry about the other two post I didn't know if they went through becuase they didn't show up.

VB Code:

Public 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 Sub Command1_Click()
    ShellExecute Me.hWnd, "Open", "http://www.msn.com",0,0,3
End Sub

AH HA!

This was exacly what I wuz searching for, ! Its in almost every program of VBWORLD, ... to visit the authors webpage... But with the new construction of vbworld, I couldn't find the new download section! :eek:

Well, hope it helps!
