Hello got a problem with the AxWebBrowser in Vista. In older versions of
Windows (XP,2000,...) this line of code :

Dim AxWord as new AxWebBrowser
AxWord.Navigate("dummyfile.doc")

Would open "dummyfile.doc" in the browser control. In Vista a new instance
of Word get's opened and here the "dummyfile.doc" file is opened. What could
be the cause of this behaviour ?

How can I fix it ?

Are you running a 64 bit version of Vista? In that case Word (32 bit)
cannot be hosted in Internet explorer (64 bit) and will be launched as a
separate process. There's no work-around until Microsoft releases a
64bit version of Office.
