Variable problem

[Lakai[NL] 0]

Alright, i have an input button, where people can type in an address, and it is supposed to go to that address, here are the variable references for it:

$forumurl = GUICtrlCreateInput("Insert URL Here", 72, 15, 250, 20)
Global $var1 = (GUICtrlRead($forumurl))
Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & $var1)

When I hit ok after i enter in the URL, i get this message

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & $var1)

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

The system cannot find the file specified.

Thanks, Lakai.

If you don't notice, he's putting a space between the actual path and variable.
