Please tell me a way how to view PDF file in VFP 6.0

From the download area (or api area, I can't remember) -- the best way is to use the shellexecute() api.

**Shell API for Viewing
**ShellAPIViewing.prg
**  The only problem is that when a file is not ASSOCIATED there is no warning or message available
**  Shellexecute returns integers which I don't know what the values represent.

LPARAMETERS lcLink, lcAction, lcParms

** definitions for nShowWindow variable
#define SW_HIDE             0
#define SW_SHOWNORMAL       1
#define SW_NORMAL           1
