Can Accesslaunch a URL in a browser?

[notDave]

Can Access launch a URL in a browser window via a line of
code in a module?
Like ShellOpen or something?

It can if you store the URL as a hyperlink field. On my website
(www.rogersaccesslibrary.com) is a small sample database called
"SetHyperlink.mdb" which illustrates this.

Can I launch that url without clicking on something? From
a module is my goal.. My module goes through all it's
many steps, then I want it to launch a web browser to an
interal site address. They'll do somethings on that page,
then go back to Access to import the file they just
created via the webpage.

Can I get the module to simply launch the page, without
clicking on something?

Thanks for any help!

As an alternative to the powerful, general API solution Alex Dybenko
proposed, you might use the built-in Application.FollowHyperlink method;
e.g.,

Application.FollowHyperlink "http://www.datagnostics.com"
