Is there a way to force a link to open in the current tab? I tried to google it but I could not find anything about this.
A little bit of background. This is in a closed system no outside users will ever have to user this so no worries there. It will always be using IE (currently IE8).I need to either open it in the current tab or make the link close the previous tab. the link is static with the exception of one GET variable and it is opened from a program using PICKBASIC.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be very helpful.

Setting the target of the link works well.

Right but The problem is that it is launching from an outside program not just a link on a site. I think I may have found the solution though. Since is is a closed system I'm just going to set all the computers internet options to not use multiple tabs. I just found out you can do that by going to tools->internet options->Tabs->Open links from other programs in:current tab

You never mentioned some "outside program".... just "force a link to open in the current tab".

What outside program is this?

The program is an ERP programmed in PICK BASIC with an UniVersal database.

Are you able to show us the code that produces the link? Without prior knowledge of the language and specific program, it is hard for us to help more than what modi123_1 already has!
