[AccessD] Displaying web page in a form

Bruce,

If you use MS Access2000 and up then this should work:

Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

Set objIE = Me.actx_WebBrowser.Object
objIE.Navigate "http://www.microsoft.com"

If you use MS Access97 it will not work - there is a problem with IE
embedded in MS Access97's forms, which I believe is described in KB but I
didn't have KB article's code. I do know it should work for MS Access97 too
and and a funny thing is that I've it working here in one of my MS Access97
apps but I forgot the "magic steps" I passed to make it working under
Acc97:) ....
...I've just created sample MS AccessXP app, created a form with Web Browser
control and it worked OK. Then I made converion to Acc97 format and it
worked OK under AccXP but when I opened this database in Acc97 it failed to
work...

If you or somebody else will not find this KB article I mentioned above then
I will try to find it...

P.S. Acc97 sample is here
http://www.smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s/download/web97.zip (25 707 bytes) -
the weird thing is that Web Browser control can't be resized once inserted
into MS Access97 form and saved...
