FollowHyperlink

[Sheldon]

I'm running Access 2000. I also have a added a reference to Microsoft
Internet Controls. I have the following line of code in a listbox click event

Application.FollowHyperlink strInput

where strInput is a valid internet address.

The program executes the statement, very slowly. While the page is being
displayed the program produces the following error message

Run-time error '16386'
An unexpected error has occurred.

I can't find any meaningful documentation on this error.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to evaluate the error message
and fix it.

Thanks

Sheldon

I tried several addresses.

The last one I tried is "www.microsoft.com"
also "www.microsoft.com/"
also "http://microsoft.com"

Did you include the "http://" protocol prefix? I can't quite see,
because of the google groups mangling.

"http://www.microsoft.com"

Or if the abive does not display clearly:

" h t t p : / / w w w . m i c r o s o f t . c o m " without the
embedded spaces.
