Open a PDF

[Max]

Access 2007. Need to be able to open a (different) pdf from a form in Access.
Have written a procedure for the On Double Click of the appropriate control,
but need the command line to open a pdf located on the hard drive.

I thought the command was "Call" but could not find anything on it in either
the HELP or in the KB.

Please help.

Application.FollowHyperlink "PathFileName"

Example:
Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\Temp\archive.doc"

The FollowHyperlink method will open any file type with the default software
assign to it.

Hope this helps,
