    Yeah, use the shell command to run the application that the icon points to. syntax is:

    shell(Your connection app name, Window style)

    window style is minimised, maximised, etc.

    Hope this helps

    You can't use the Shell command as a connection is not an executable file. In addition, you never know what the connection is called on the end-user's computer. Only Internet Explorer does, and the link I gave you does everything you want to do, using IE.

    P.S. Some advice: don't worry about IE not being installed.
