Command button to open PDF files

[qwerty70]

Hello,

I have a text box (txtTagNumber) and a command button (cmdOpenPDFfile) on a form. If I put the tag number in the text box and hit the command button I need to open the corresponding PDF file.

Can someone help me on this please.

Thanks in advance.

In case it helps others here is a solution I have just done:

Dim imagepath As String

Part = Forms!frmPart!PartID
imagepath = "c:\temp" & "\" & PartID & ".pdf"

Me.pageDrawing.SetFocus
objWebBrowser.Navigate imagepath
