>Thanks for that, however i have found a easier way, there is an OCX that ships with acrobat reader called pdf.ocx, you can put this on a foxpro form and send it the path to the required .pdf file and it loads up within your application rather than runing as a seperate window as your way of doing it does.

Keep in mind that this control isn't very reliable. You can download sample Chapter 8 Integrating PDF Technology of the book MegaFox: 1002 Things You Wanted to Know About Extending VFP by Marcia Akins, Andy Kramek, Rick Schummer from http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/zsamplechapters.htm.
