    I have created a textbox with a word in it. When I click with the mouse on it, I want to see a PDF-file in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Therefor Acrobat Reader has to start automaticly with the desired file.(Like Windows Explorer double click)
    How can I do this?
    Please give me some code
    Thanks

    Re: Execute PDF file

    use the ShellExecute API and pass the path to the PDF file as argument 3. This will start Acrobat reader if it is correctly installed.
