Open a link in a Webbased 2007 Infopath formular

[Janko]

Hi all,
I have implemented a button which should call a link.

It has to be a button, I can not use the Infopath Hyperlink control to open
a link.

The reason why a button is because I'm checking some settings and only when
specials settings are true the button will be activated and opens a url.

This works fine with the Infopath 2007 application by using
System.Process.Diagnostics --- Start("http://www.microsoft.com")

But when I try to do the same in the web based formular (Sharepoint, Forms
Services)
The link does not open at all

I tried many code examples but without a result

Has someone an idea how to open a URL by using VB .NET code ?

Any help is more then welcome

Thank you

Janko

These links are in C#, but they work:
