Open URL in Default Browser help

I use the Open URL vi to send a command to another computer. e.g. http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxx/exec?RCO.
The vi also opens a web page with some return information from the other computer. Can I suppress the openning of that web page?
Thanks

I'm not sure why you are using this vi anyway but there is not a way to suppress the opening since the VI is password protected. Why not use TCP or ActiveX with internet explorer.

I am using the Open URL vi because I need it to send a xml file to a different computer. I don't think I tried TCP. I did find a solution however. As soon as the webpages open, I kill the process with a system command. Not elegant but it work. I'll try your idea.
Thanks

If you have the internet toolkit you can use the "URL Get HTTP Document" function. This uses TCP/IP functions to access a web page and load it's contents. The page is returned in "content". The header is returned as well.

Thansks but I don't think I do. I'm running 7.1.1 with 8.5 on order.

The internet toolkit was already available in LV 7.1. If you have the developer suite you can install it from the toolkit CD.
The same is true for 8.5.
