VB and MS Word and links to PDF files????
I do have a project that encompasses different technologies. The customer needs an app ASAP.
I want to create a CD that can be opened in all different continents. This CD should be able to do the following:
On inserting it in the CD-ROM, it (cd-rom) should launch an application with two buttons. If any of the buttons is pressed, it should open an MS Word document (that is on the cd-rom). Any of the documents that have been opened (by clicking on a button) have links to pdf files. A user should be able to click on link a open up a pdf file.
The following is what I was thinking of doing:
- to create an application in Visual Basic 6.0 (as opposed to Access 2002) to avoid “MS Office version issues.
- To create an installation using VB installation package.
- To include a runtime version of the Acrobat Reader (if there is such a thing); I am assuming that most user will not have the capability (on their computers) to read pdf files.
I am not sure whether this will work so please advise before in dive in into an abyss.
