Just use the ShellExecute API function, which will open a file's associated program.

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
 
Private Sub OpenFile(sFile As String)
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", "C:\MyPage.htm", vbNullString, vbNullString, 1
End Sub
