Using your example...

I've set it up assuming that the text on the menu strip is the website adress. You can change this really easily though.



Private Sub SocomIIUSNavySealsOnlineToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SocomIIUSNavySealsOnlineToolStripMenuItem.Click

Dim pr As New Process
pr.StartInfo.FileName = SocomIIUSNavySealsOnlineToolStripMenuItem.Text
pr.Start()

End Sub

Hope this helps!

Dustin.

Sorry but i must ask how do i change it. Say i need it to point to the website http://www.msn.com

how would i do that.

I tried dimming a new string and then putting the web address in the string. Then instead of using the text of the menu item as the filename i would use the string. I got a WIN32Exception error though.

Private Sub SocomIIUSNavySealOnlineToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SocomIIUSNavySealsOnlineToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim pr As New Process
Dim Site As String = "YourSiteHere.com"
pr.StartInfo.FileName = Site
pr.Start()

End Sub
