Subject:

If you want to bypass the user's preferences, then you will have to write LotusScript code to call a function similar to this:

Const OBJNAME_IE = "InternetExplorer.Application"
Const IE_READYSTATE_COMPLETE = 4 ' http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/enums/readystate_enum.asp
Const ERR_IE_FAILURE = "Internet Explorer did not retrieve the requested page. Check your network connection and settings."

Sub launchBrowser(navigateURI As String)

' Use COM automation to launch IE to specific URL

Dim IE As Variant

Set IE = CreateObject(OBJNAME_IE) ' create and attach to IE object
IE.Navigate(navigateURI) ' give it the URI
Do While (IE.ReadyState <> IE_READYSTATE_COMPLETE) ' wait for completion
Sleep(1)
Loop

If IE.Document Is Nothing Then ' if we didn't get a document, then report an error
Messagebox(ERR_IE_FAILURE)
Exit Sub
End If

IE.Visible = True ' surface the window

End Sub

However, the above code will only work for Internet Explorer on windows. I have not worked out the code for any other browser or platform.
