Doubleclick on your inserted htm file to open it with IE (or whatever your
default browser is). Click on Test. Does a new instance of the browser
appear with SomeFile.htm or not? If yes, pay attention how you load the file
into the webcontrol. If no, check your html.

Yes, I tried everything I could thing of to come up with different paths and
even prepending the "file://" onto the front didn't help.
Any other ideas?
