HTML files not being displayed

Hi all,

I posted a similar question in a different forum, but didn't get a response so I thought I'd try this one.

I have a label that displays a name and a command button on one form. When user clicks the button, I want the HTML page that corresponds to the name in the label to be displayed in a web browser on a separate form.

ie. The name in the label is 'Alaunia', when command button is clicked the HTML file Alaunia_NEW.html is to be displayed on a separate form in a webbrowser.

Here's the code I have,

Private Sub Form_Load()
If lblShip1.Caption = "Anna Salen" Then
WebBrowser1.Navigate ("C:/Documents and Settings/itcoop/Desktop/kiosk/Ships HTML pages/wallofships_grigori/shipsmain/Anna_Salen_NEW.htm")
End If

If lblShip1.Caption = "Andes" Then
WebBrowser1.Navigate ("C:/Documents and Settings/itcoop/Desktop/kiosk/Ships HTML pages/wallofships_grigori/shipsmain/Andes_NEW.htm")
End If
End Sub

etc.

(lblShip1 contains the name by way of a string from other form)

When I click the command button, I get "Page Cannot Be Displayed", however, when I block out the If Statements, the second HTML file "Andes" is displayed.

Am I not able to use If statements with the webbrowser control ?(was told I could) How can I fix this code or code my command button to do what I want?

Thanks,

Here's a couple of things you can do:

1) Open Internet Explorer and manually browse and open the HTML file that you want to display. Now in the address bar will be the complete path to the HTML file to use in your VB code. This just ensures that you don't have a typo.

2) Change WebBrowser1.Navigate to WebBrowser1.Navigate2
