Is there a way to open a .pdf formatted file via Microsoft Access and a form
view. If I had a file that resided on my local drive or server, and I knew
the path name/file name of that file, and that name was displayed via a
Access Form, could this file be opened "ON CLICK" to view mode.

Lets say that the computer already has Adobe on it, and Access Runtime
modules for 2003, and a table/database exists on a pc. Could this table
allow user to find file names and open for view?

If so, what function, sub routine, would a person use to code this ?

Thanks in advance.
 
You can use the FollowHyperlink , check help on the subject
On the On click event of the button, run the code

Dim PDFLocationAndName as String
PDFLocationAndName = "C:\FileName.Pdf"
application.FollowHyperlink PDFLocationAndName
