Hi Rich,

The 'str(data.filename)' returns string with bunch of leadibg spaces. I think you want

ALLTRIM(str(data.filename))
* or 
TRANSFORM(data.filename)

I would also recomend to use ShellExecute().

>The name of an Adobe Acrobat file (withouth the extension) is recorded in the field DATA.FILENAME data type numeric.
>I want to launch Acrobat with the file open in Acrobat. If I know the filename the code that works is:
>! /n C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\acrobat.exe C:\data\testreport.pdf
>
>Why doesn't this work?:
>! /n C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\acrobat.exe 'C:\data\'+str(data.filename)+'.pdf'

>Acrobat launches, but tells me the file is not found.
