I'm making a graphics selection program to put at the start of my games and I want to add a button that takes the user to my website. How can I do this?

Try using ExecFile, ie: ExecFile "www.blitzbasic.com"

It is working here fine...

That could be more a matter of which browser you are using and how it is set up. I ran the code, and it works.

Thanks for testing it. I guess it's just my browser then. I'm using Internet Explorer 6. Lol guess I need to upgrade ;)

Try it without adding quotes to either side of your URL. They're not needed and some browsers may not like then and others just ignore them.
