Song,

Try feeding the PDF filename to this function:

Syntax: Call ExecuteFile(strFilename, "Open")

Thank you for the info. However, I do not know the file name and folder the
user might save the pdf, how do supply strFileName?

thanks.

Song,

This code allows you to use the standard Windows FileOpen dialog to find a
file:
