Graham, I've used this chunk of code to open Internet Explorer from a
MapBasic program and go directly to a URL. You can open an HTML file
locally as well.
Good Luck.
Declare Sub OpenURL
Sub OpenURL
Dim Exe, URL, CmdLine as String
Exe = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
URL = " www.mapinfo.com <http://www.mapinfo.com> "
CmdLine = Exe + " " + URL
Run Program CmdLine
End Sub

Subject: Re: MI Opening HTML pages within MapInfo
I've seen these programs where you can click on a map object and it links to
a url. What we really want to do is write html to a file from within an MBX
to create a formatted report (that's the easy bit!), then to open that html
page in a web browser without having to exit the MapBasic application - in
other words, once the file is written, not have to manually go into Explorer
to view the report. We wrote a short DLL in Visual Basic and have tried
calling this, but with no success (VB skills not too hot!).

have you looked at linkplus - i think it's available at spatialnews.com, and
you might be lucky enough to get the code too to look at.

Dear List,

Can you help at all.
