Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a Form.
  2. Add a Microsoft Web Browser Control to the form and set its properties as follows: 
       Name: WBCtrl1
   Refresh: NODEFAULT
   Init: This.Navigate("www.microsoft.com")
  3. Add a TextBox to the Form. The TextBox will be used to enter the URLs you want to connect to. Add the following code to the Valid event of this TextBox: 
          IF !EMPTY(This.Value)
         ThisForm.WBCtrl1.Navigate(This.Value)

  4. Run the form, type a valid URL into the TexBox, and then hit the ENTER key to go to and display the URL. Note that repeating step 4 several times may cause Visual FoxPro to crash.
