Opening a PDF File through VB

Help..I have a VB form with a text box that lists the path of various PDF files. Does anybody know the code to open the PDF file through the VB environment. ( I've got it to work with Excel and Word documents but not PDF'S)
Many Thanks.

Use DLL

I suggest you to embed the Adobe Plugin and open the PDF from your VB program
