Command Button to open pdf document

[Binnit]

Word 97 Template form

I have created a form which will open using the "New" event.

On the form I would like to add a command button that will open a pdf document (user help notes), the pdf is located in the same directory as the template.

Sofar, all I have been able to do is create a hyperlink in the main document but this is not what I want.

Any help appreciated

You could use Shell.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Shell ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe " & _
   "c:\EFTmanual.pdf")
End Sub

Adjust accordingly. Use the correct path to the executable, and the filename to open could just as easily be a string.
