workflow to be opened by a web browser. Can you please help me?

Given workflows are asynchronous, this could occur an hour after the
workflow event is triggered. Are you sure this is the behaviour you
are after?

As workflows are asynchronous (the run in the background when there is time)
you can not interact with the user in any way, so will not be able to do this
through a workflow.
If you do want to do this you would need to create a plugin, which can the
be registered with the plugin deployment tool. Have a look in the SDK as
there is lots of information about plugins.

I assume here you are not using CRM Online as you can not create plugins for

So, forgot about the most simple way to do this.

If you want a webpage to be opened when a record is created the simplest way
would be to create some simple JavaScript on the onSave event of the form.

Thanks
