: : : Hi Mark,
: : : Ive just installed and registered FM6.
: : : When I try to jump to your website from the help menu, I see a box saying that the site was not accessible and that "this feature requires a web browser to be installed on your computer and that your shell be configured to open URLs" : : : Given that the problem is mine and not in FM6, what would you suggest is the matter here?
: : : IE5.5 is already installed and working.
: : : I am running Windows 95c
: : : I can log on to your site from within IE5.
: : : I can jump to your site when I click on your web address shown in an email from you.
: : : I can jump to any web site shown in emails when I click on the respective addresses.
: : : I can download price updates from the internet using FM6.
: : : I cannot jump to your web site from within FM6. I get that message about a shell and URLs.
: : : I have looked in the Windows Help pages and can find no reference to shells or URLs.
: : : In my "Internet Properties", "Programs", The box is ticked beside "IE should check to see if it is the default browser"
: : : Maybe the problem is in FM6. : : : Over to you.
: : : Cheers

: : : Hi Mark,
: you are right on to it! I get a message telling me to associate this file with a program. Then it says go to "My computer, "View", "Folder options" and create an association. Unfortunately, the message did not provide further assistance.
: As this is a problem in my computer and not FM6, I should be now seeking help from some other source. However if the creation process is easily explained, I would be most grateful for any advice you can provide.
: Cheers
: Roger
Hi Roger,
I'm not exactly sure how to manually set this up. I believe on newer OS's
this association is already made in the shell. I would have guessed that
when you installed IE5 this would have set up this association for you... If you don't get it configured it doesn't change the functionality of FM,
it just removes the convenience of being able to quickly get to certain
pages on our web site. Thanks,
Mark
