Shell Statement for URLs crashes with NT & 2000 ??!?

[Reddawn]

I execute the following code from W98 ;

code:

Private Sub Picture1_DblClick()
Dim Keyword As Variant
Keyword = "start.exe " & AnaSayfa
Keyword = Shell(Keyword, vbHide)
End Sub

'Where Public AnaSayfa is as string and is ;= "http://www.blablasite.com/default.asp?"

This code executes with no problems on Win98 however on NT4.0 and 2000 it crashes..

WHY?

No Sure.... Why not just do this



Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal opOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal opParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long


Public Sub ShellExe(What As String)
On Error Resume Next
Call ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, What, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub




shellexe "http://www.blablasite.com/default.asp"
