[AccessD] Specifying where to open browser

Thanks for the suggestion, but I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. Someone else wrote the routine for me, as I don't know how to do code. I'm almost through the F's in the database, so may end up finishing before I get an answer. But, I'm sure I'll use it in some future database, so still hope to find the answer. Gotta find Stuart's address and ask him about it, since he wrote it.

Thanks for trying, even though I'm not up to that level of understanding.
