Web Browser Control (Call using system's DEFAULT browser) ?

[Bluecider]

Is there a way to have the Web Browser Control to call the page into the form using whatever web browser is defined as the system default and not simply just IE?

I can't find any options for it clearly anywhere.

AFAIK, the Access 2010 and later native (built-in) Web Browser Control is a wrapper for Internet Explorer (IE). It has been my experience that none of the browsers support what is required to be used as a custom control on an Access form.

Is there same reason you can't use IE?

You can have Access open the default browser and go to a specific URL using this:

VBA Code example:

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

Hmm ok. I wanted to give the option to use the DEFAULT browser on the user's PC, as they may be storing/using cookies on that default browser, so their results would be more useful in that control.

Any way to use that VBA code to get the results into a form window instead?

Hmmm
