>Instead of having a user browse in windows explorer for an adobe acrobat file to view which can be cumbersome for some, I want the user type in the name of the file(in a textbox on a vfp form). These files are arranged in certain pre arranged(hardcodable) directories and given the name of the file he types in, it will be a specific directory. What useful vfp commands/functions will allow a certain directory to be displayed so user can double click on his file?

Are you using a VFP9? If yes, there is a sample of this type, but I think you can use older version of VFP that has the web browser class. I can share a code tomorrow(Monday).Im using this functionality with my Time Billing System. develop with VFP7.
