Hi ,

I am not sure whether you like to open within a form or outside the vb app. If you like to open the pdf inside the form you can place a web browser control inside the form and use the url as "c:\...\file.pdf".

OLE1.OLETypeAllowed = acOLEEmbedded
OLE1.SourceDoc = "C:\1.pdf"
OLE1.Action = acOLECreateEmbed
