Opening URL in default browser

[Marc_Brierley]

Morning

I need a way to open a url in default browser by clicking a link/button in a Clarion window. I have tried simply using ‘RUN’ and that works fine with standard website addresses e.g. ‘WWW.ggogle.com’ but when I try a URL such as 'https://meet.google.com/oaj-yabe-yme?’ it doesn’t do anything.

Can anyone explain how to fix it or give me an alternative method please?
