Can anyone shed light on how to do this? When a user clicks on a hyperlink (e.g. label) on a thin client form, start a new web browser, or maximise an existing browser, to display the web page.

Like this:

vars
command, site: String;begin

command := "open";
site := "http://www.silvermoon.co.nz";
call shellExecute (0, command.bufferAddress, site.bufferAddress, 0, 0, 1); end;

where shellExecute is an external function defined as this:

shellExecute (hwnd, lpOperation, lpFile, lpParameters, lpDirectory,
nShowCmd : Integer) is ShellExecuteA in shell32;;

This will open up your default browser (e.g. Mozilla) with the URL you pass it.

Regards,
Allistar.
