Post subject: Is it possible to open another browser through hyperlink
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>frontpage>client (more info?)

I have a website, www.postcardsfromthenet.com, and I want to add
functionality to the admin pages that allow me to open a special browser,
maybe IE7 from the standard browser, Firefox.

I need to print out the postcards, and instead of downloading the database
as I've been doing, I want to open a web browser that would have no margins,
and no footer or header info. I can do this manually by opening the IE8
browser, but then I have to copy paste the url to find the spcific card to
print. I'd like to have a hyperlink do this, but it has to be a different
browser, one where I have removed the spacing limitations.

Or can I open the same browser and remove the settings through code?

TIA

No you can't open another browser application from within an existing browser application window
- you can open a modeless window or a popup window from with the existing browser
- but you can't control the users browser settings for print header and footer
