Any Ideas Why this is not working? Microsoft Edge will not open a file location

[razzandy]

The below code manages to Open a New Tab in Edge but doesn't navigate to the address to open the file. I have tried removing file:/// and it does enter the directory but it then performs a web search instead of opening the file.

Shell Environ$("comspec") & " /c start microsoft-edge:file:///C:/Users/Work/OneDrive/CloudStation/Systems/eBay%20Lister/Templates/TempListingView.html" 'Edge

Thanks in ada

Take a look here, the article is a couple of years old but the post that I've linked to might explain why it doesn't work (I didn't read it in detail), if you scroll up there is also another reply on that page which appears to show a possible 'fix'
