pdf and html

[Kurt Neumann]

i have an application which displays a pdf file by:

stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe " &
fileDirectory & fileX

Call Shell(stAppName, 1)



I would like to be able to distribute the application to others and
consequently need code which is independent of the adobe program and
directory. i would also similarly like to display html files.

can someone help?
thanks

Use the ShellExecute API. See http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm at
"The Access Web" for sample code.
