open a pdf file in vb code

hello all
I need to know how to open a pdf file using the vb code in Access, i did it before using word objects by creating wordobj
is there anything similar for the pdf files
thanks in advance

hii

i think this should do

Dim App, Doc As Object
Set App = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set Doc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")

App.Show
Doc.Open "C:\1.pdf", "1.pdf"

i tried ur code, but it is saying that activex cant create the object

thats cool

i tried shell execute but it doesnt work either, when i click on the command nothing happens


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

and in the code of the command i used the function like this
lngErr = ShellExecute(0, "OPEN", strFile, "", "", SW_SHOW)

does anyone have an idea how to make it work
thanks a lot in advance
