This is working in VB6=

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim PDF
PDF = Shell("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\IDTemplates\ENU\AdobeID.pdf", 1)
End Sub

thanks for your response. now it says file cannot be found. what do you mean by
a) IDTemplates
b) ENU
c) AdobeID

[Guido Geurs]

This is working on MY pc because Adobe Reader is on:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and a PDF file is on:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\IDTemplates\ENU\AdobeID.pdf"

For You it will be:

Private Sub Command1_Click() 
Dim PDF 
PDF = Shell("C:\Program Files\PDF Suite\PDF Suite.exe  C:\Quarterly Bulletins\Publications-pdf\xyz.pdf", 1) 
End Sub
