Call windows explorer

ab

What do I have to do to call windows explorer from C/AL ?

Depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to start the explorer:

shell('C:\windows\explorer.exe');

if c:\windows is the path to your windows directory.

Also if you want to open a website use hyperlink

hyperlink('www.google.com');

Thanks !

Just adding a little to what was said above; If you include the executable path in a text constant and then use SHELL(yourtextconstant) instead, then the user won't have to confirm that whatever program is executed is a trusted source.

Hyperlink can also open files in the program that's setup for the particular extension.

HYPERLINK('c:\test.xls') opens text.xls in Excel (or another spreadsheet-program which can open .xsl).
