Hi Steve.

I prefer the method of using the Microsoft Web Browser Control over the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control since Adobe doesn't support it.

The code to view the PDF is -
ThisForm.OleControl1.Navigate("file:///c:\file.pdf")
ThisForm.OleControl1.Refresh()
Make sure you put the following code in the OleControls' Refresh method to fix a known problem -
NODEFAULT
This method does require that the workstations have Internet Explorer installed.
