changing the url

[beowulf]

alright i have the code to open internet explorer im using the following

Call Shell("c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe " & Text2.Text, vbNormalFocus)

once explorer is open i need it so that when ever the user clicks enter again it will change the url to what text2 has changed to instead of opening a new window. i hope this makes sense. thanks

Use the ShellExecute API instead... Do a search for it.

i have tryed to use this code

ShellExecute "Http://www.google.com"

but im not to familiar with the ShellExecute. do i just slap the code above into my program or do i have to add some other things. thanks

Try this and see

Private 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
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Private Sub Form_Load()
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "www.vbforums.com", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub
