Controlling Netscape

Question:
I’m trying to write an application that loads URLs into the user’s web browser, but it’s based on the shell function and fires up a second Netscape window when the user submits the URL. How do I get VB to just load the URL into an existing Netscape window?

Answer:
Netscape provides both DDE and OLE interfaces. The documentation on both is located both at Netscape and in the Reference Material area of Ask the VB Pro.
