  If there is not other option you can easy create a function in TFrxReport.OnUserFunction and call ShellExecute()

  Replace
  // necessary logic
  with your code in function TForm1.MyFunc(s: String ; i: Integer): Boolean;

  Can I do this with Fast Report Studio? I still don't understand where to put this code and what exactly to write... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Edit: Typo[/img]

  I prefer this way but with TfrxReport.OnUserFunction is a litle easy.
  Your big problem is that you do not work into an application development environment like Delphi. You do not have accesses to TfrxReport and custom functions....
