Re:How to make a button to open a predefined webside 
Hi Per.
You either get DataEase 8, where you can do all kind of Web Page/and Web enabled stuff directly in DataEase, or in lieu of that you look in the CDF sample app. You find it at the left of the Welcome screen.

Re:DataEase 8.5 and Define Application Printers 
1. There is no reason why Application Printers should be greyed out in Group. This is most likely down to the fact that there was no group when this feature was implemented so it fell under the "general" exclusion for Runtime.2. It is not a "go...
