You can’t do it directly, but rather you have to use a Windows call:

Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Private Declare Function apiShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias
"ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal
lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String,
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Public Sub GotoWebSite()
Call apiShellExecute(0, "open", "http://google.com", vbNullString,
"c:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
End Sub
