    Default Browser command not working when Firefox is the default browser

    Hi Everyone

    I have added a help file in the form of a HTML file that I call up from a custom menu. If I use the Windows Internet Explorer the file is displayed properly. However, if Firefox is set as my default browser it doesn't work right. I get the following message "The file /C:/Menu cannot be found. Please check the location and try again." The code that I am using to call up the browser is the following (command "_browser " (findfile "c:\\Menu 2006\\manuals\\Users-Manual.htm"))). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    You could use the lisp method I have documented here: http://rkmcswain.blogspot.com/2005/1...m-autocad.html

    Just replace the name of the PDF with the name of your HTML file.


    -or-

    You can form your string like this:

    file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/JoeSmith/My%20Documents/sample.html
