Hi!

In my database paths to several PDF files are stored. I'd like to
implement a PDF preview function - is there a way to do this?

Best regards,
Andreas

I would probably use the ShellExecute method:

Hi, Tom,

thanks for your answer.

I _do_ know how to _open_ a PDF. What I want to do is a first page
preview _before_ launching Acrobat.

Best regards,
Martin

This can be done by inserting the acrobat reader ActiveX control into a
form.
Look on the internet for the settings or for de SDK from Acrobat
Reader. I don't have the database at hand where I once used it in.

Good luck
Regards
Cas
