Opening URLs from MS Access; force to open in new browser window?

[TheDougmeister]

I know that I can use the "Shell" command to open a URL:

Shell <Browser path and EXE> & " " & <URL>

But it will open in a new tab if the browser already has instantiated an instance. Is there a way to force it to open in a new browser window? Perhaps with a different method, or with different parameters?

Mods, feel free to delete. Thanks.

Thought these were two different boards.

Ok... then does it matter that it's cross-posted?

I'll post a link to an article in the forum from post 2. They won't mind that I do that over there. It will give you a new perspective on the issue.

Gotcha. Thanks.
