Using application.followhyperlink

[lynnnow]

Hi,

The code i've got works fine with IE, i need some help on getting it to use Mozilla as the default application. I've set Mozilla as the default browser but the command fails. Any pointers on what should be done.

The command I have is like this

ActiveDocument.FollowHyperlink Address:="http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=" _
& Selection.Text, NewWindow:=True
Thanks,

Lynnnow

Hi Lynnnow,
Works OK with me, so it's must be a Firefox setting. Need to investigate further.

Outlook Express takes Firefox as the default application. I even closed the Word application to see if the previous instance still considered IE as the default, but I've looked at the settings in FF and don't see anything else that needs to be changed. Can u give me ur settings so I can try them out here?

Regards,

In FF Tools/Options/Main you can check the default. I really don't know what else to suggest.
Have you tried asking in a FF forum? (I assume there is one)

Since I was trying to activate FF through Word and Word failed to use the default explorer, since I've disabled the proxy in IE (I need it that way), I thot of consulting this site. My post on the mozillazine site is as follows:
