I have been using the command:
        LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("c:\\windows\\explorer.exe")
successfully to launch Explorer.

When I look in that same windows directory I cannot find Internet  
Explorer?
Anyone know the path to IE?
Thanks in advance to the windows savvy from a mac centric guy ...

might vary from OS version to OS version - but I would try:
c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore

Internet Explorer is iexplore.exe. Explorer is the Windows desktop
shell.

Problem turns out to be the path, IE is in c:\program files\internet  
explorer\iexplore.exe

This I know but (at least on vista) replacing iexplore.exe for  
explorer.exe does nothing but return system var OK=0 (failed).

Unable to type into a combobox - 4D 2004 Win (updgrading from 2003)

We are in the process of upgrading our VM product from 4D 2003 to 4D 2004

Using 4D 2004.7 HotFix3
We are 100% Windows (XP SP2)

I've just noticed that I'm not able to type into a combobox.
We use them extensively.
I can click in it and see the cursor flashing.
I can tab into it
I can use the left/right arrow key to move the cursor.
I can click to select, but it will not accept any keyboard entries except
up/down arrows, left/right arrows, and enter key.

It is behaving more like a dropdown menu.

I created a new combo box and it works fine.  Just not my existing ones.

I've searched through the docs and 4D Gmane to no avail.

I'm hoping someone here can give me a good swift kick in the right direction.

Many thanks

I've seemed to somewhat answer my own question.

In 4D 2003 I had the "On Clicked" event checked for the object, as well as the
"On Data Change"

Apparently, when "On Clicked" is checked, it doesn't allow typing into the combo
box, even if "On data change" is checked.

This means I'll need to update a very large quantity of objects in my
db...yikes!

Any other views or thoughts on the matter.
