Open URL in Window

Hi,
I'm new to VB so this might seem like a simple question. Someone on my site enters a URL in a form box, all i want it to do is open that URL in a new browser window.

<img src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/226576/form1.gif" width=432 height=81>

So far i have no command functions.



Can someone help me with this please?

Thanks.

Here you go
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib _
"shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Const SW_SHOW = 1

Public Sub Navigate(ByVal NavTo As String)

Dim hBrowse As Long
hBrowse = ShellExecute(0&, "open", NavTo, "", "", SW_SHOW)
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Navigate ("http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/226576/form1.gif")
End Sub

Sorry, i make a mistake by putting <img src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/226576/form1.gif" width=432 height=81>
in the question. This was just an image of the form box i was using, which is at http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/226576/form1.gif.

Its basically a text input box and a command button. From there i want to open the url in the window. And is it possible to do this without using dlls?

Thanks.

Actually you should be able to just use the Shell() function.

i.e.
