I am trying to get a website to load up in DBPro and it says the file doesn't exist. I have all of the REM stuff at the top and have made a new file by the way. Please help!

Uhm, your problem here is simple: DBP can't load webpages. You're trying to load a plain file here, but then you're referencing an internet address, and DBP has no native TCP/IP handling. Get a TCP/IP dll, or I believe Blue GUI will let you load webpages aswell.

dbpro/dbc don't support internet as far as web address plus you would have to make a new file on your website and goto http://example.ex.com/newfile.file but it dbpro does support ftp however

If you're trying to load a website using the default web browser, you do something like...


But if you're trying to make a webbrowser using DBP, you need a RobK's plug-in

This sig has been dullified!

I didn't really understand half of what you guys said, but the main idea was clear, so thanks! Especially the code thingy. Like I said, I am a total newbie!
Also, how do you make it close the file without a file number? And open in a new window?

By the way, Kentaree, nice signature! You can just tell that you're a programmer!

Er, if it makes any difference, it's not actually http://www.bbc.co.uk that I'm trying to open, but http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3535014.stm. Will it still work? I mean, fascinating though the page is, it is kinda long and does have an 'unusual' address line (what is .stm, by the way?)
