>Greetings to all,
>Is there a way to open a PDF file from a user menu in Visual FoxPro 7.0? I have looked at FOPEN and GETFILE but still am having a little trouble. Any Ideas would be greatly appriciated.

One way would be to call the SHellExecute() API; there's a class in the FFC that acts as a wrapper on it:
oShellExec = NEWOBJECT('_shellexecute',home() + '_environ.vcx')
=oShellExec.ShellExecute('MyPDF.PDF')
