Studio 5 on Windows XP: Cannot launch external browser (Netscape),

Hi; This little problem is a real PITA.

System: Win XP Pro

Browser: Netscape 7.02

Problem: Configuring IDE to use Netscape.

No matter what and how I try (via options) the IDE does not know how to launch a url in Netscape. It launches Netscape but does not succeed with the insertion of the url.

thank u all

Hi Nat... yep... this took me a couple of trys...

1. go to Tools/Options/Server and External Tool Setting

2. select Web Browsers/External Browser (Windows)

3. set your path to Netscape.exe (mine was C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\Netscp.exe)

4 Now make sure you select NETSCAPE6 for the DDE Server property from the drop-down menu for that property...

Hope this helps...It took several frustrating moments to figure that one out...
