We create PDF file using Acrobat 6.0. Later if needed the user may want to view file...is it possible to open the file using Reader 7.0? Opening with 6.0, Read/Write version is slow. Below is the code currently used to view a PDF file

cPdffile = (some file name)

oShell = NEWOBJECT("_shellexecute", HOME(0)+"FFC\_environ.vcx")

oShell.shellexecute((cPdfFile))

If I understand your post you want to use reader 7.0 instead of Pro 6.0 to open PDF's by default... Correct?

If this is the case go to:
control panel/ folder options/ file types
Pick PDF
Change the default opener from Pro 6.0 to reader 7.0.

Basically you are changing the windows file association.
