I know the web browser control isn't a full blown browser, there's no
backwards/forwards button in it. Any idea on how to trap the following?
On a web page a link may stay within the same window. But clicking on
a link in others will open a new window. Doing so from the web browser
control does the same thing, it opens an external IE window and is not
associated with the page in the Access form. Anyway to tell it to use
the same window?

I don't think so. I find it annoying when links are set to open in a
new window, but in my browser (FireFox), I have them set to open in
a new tab, instead of a new window. I assume IE supports that, but
when I check an app of mine with the older IE web browser control,
the shortcut to Open in New Tab is disabled.

So, probably not, unless the newer web browser control supports
tabbed browsing (which I doubt, since I'm pretty sure tabbed
browsing is implemented at a UI layer above the components around
which the browser control is a wrapper).
