I have a client with a VFP desktop application running on Win 11 64-bit.

On hitting a command button, his application launches a pre-populated email message in the default mail client using ShellExecute within the _hyperlink.vcx VFP class. When I run the project within the VFP development environment, it calls up his Outlook application as expected.

BUT When the same project is compiled into an EXE, it activates an Edge browser window instead.

Thoughts?

I've decided to just ditch the _hyperlink.vcx and do ShellExecute from a standard command button...

That's what I've been doing forever. I have a custom class that handles the UI display of a hyperlink label to show the underline and hover effect, but it defers to ShellExecute() or GoUrl() (both in wwutils.prg)...
