Is it possible to write vba code in a Word template that will open a .pdf
file with Acrobat Reader 6.0? If so, can you give me an example of the
code?
Thank you.
Paste the following into a separate module
Option Explicit
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
Public Function OpenDoc(ByVal DocFile As String) As Long
OpenDoc = ShellExecute(0&, "open", DocFile, vbNullString, vbNullString,
vbNormalFocus)
End Function
If you pass a full pathname to the OpenDoc function, it will open the file
using its default application, whatever that might be. You can use this to
open a file of any type in its host application.
