Try this and let me know if it worked...

Private 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

Private Sub Command1_Click()
strDir = "<your files Directory>"
strFile = "<your filename>.pdf"
ShellExecute 0, "OPEN", strDir & strFile, "", strDir, 1
End Sub
