Hi Jim,

I have keyed in this statement, it has "Run time error 53" which states
"File not Found"

Call Shell("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
5.0\Acrobat\acrobat.exe""C:\grade.pdf""", 1)

can you help?
Thanks again

Hi,

Thanks Jim for his great answer!

From Jim's suggestions, the following codes runs well on my machine.

Private Sub Command0_Click()
Call Shell("c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
c:\a.pdf", 1)
End Sub

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!
