Hi, to do this, insert a hyperlink by pressing ctrl + k, and then select the file you want to open, but make sure u dont change the location of the pdf file after uve created the hyperlink.
hope this helps
This opens your file with the default registered program in Windows.
Put this in a bas module (in 1 line):
Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Public Const SW_SHOW = 1
'***********************************
'Put this in a command button in your form
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "C:\Carpeta\Manual.pdf", "", "", SW_SHOW
