Shell command
Cant seem to be able to open a file using the shell command in VB6!
Why is this not working?
Shell App.Path + "\linkgrabber.htm", vbNormalFocus
I dont know why when I post this the backslash does not appear before the linkgrabber.htm file??

Shell won't open any file apart from *.bat, *.exe or *.com. To open your html link you need to use the ShellExecute API.
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Const SW_SHOW = 5
Private Sub Command1_Click()
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", App.Path & "linkgrabber.htm", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOW
End Sub

This will use your default webbrowser to open the file.
What a crap editor I can't put the slash in App.Path & "linkgrabber.htm"
