Brian,

Two things, first the launching of the URL, and secondly the other errors.
Try the function shown below in your program.

Also, delete the folder "build_temp" from your source code folder and let
the FB5/FBtoC recreate it as needed. Possibly you have some rogue data in
there from a previous error that is still lingering?

Hope it helps,

Deep

URLRef = fn CFURLCreateWithString( _kCFAllocatorDefault, URLCFStr, 0 )
CFRelease( URLCFStr )
long if ( urlRef )
osErr = fn LSOpenCFURLRef( URLRef, #0 )
CFRelease( URLRef )
end if
end if
end fn = osErr




fn LaunchURL( "http://www.apple.com" )

fn LaunchURL( "mailto:support@..." )
