You'll definitely want to wrap the process in a Try/Catch, particularly the
createobject().

Some network admins are disabling scripting for security reasons.
ShellExecute() would be the bulleproof choice. This approach is just a
wrapper around it, but sometimes the wrapper may be locked down. <s>

Hi Mohammed - PMFJI

thanks a lot - much easier than shellexecute!

Do I need to include any components in an installation setup to
ensure this works at a user's site?

installed.

All I need is how to launch adobe reader and load the pdf file
for viewing...

Any help will be appreciated
