Try using the shell or shellexecute command to open the file.

Shell "c:\test.pdf"

or

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
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.allapi.net/[/URL]
    'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net
    'Send an E-Mail to the KPD-Team
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "c:\test.pdf", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub
