Web links using labview

Hi,
Does anyone know how to put in a link to a website using labview. I
want to create a menu option similar to the one that takes you to the
labview site, but which takes you to another site. I presume I will need to
use activeX to open the web browser and some from of TCP/IP to get the right
address, has anyone done this before, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Martin.

Martin,
Open the following: LabVIEW/Help/Intlinks/_browser.llb/Open URL in
Browser.vi
That should do what you need. You can get fancier with ActiveX, but
this is probably the simplest. Just make a custom menu item that
invokes this sub-vi with the proper URL input...

Regards,
Dave
