Try this:
VB is smart enough to know that this is a pdf document and open the assocciated pdf displayer (if you have one installed)VB Code:
I think!
Thanks. But I don't want to create a new pdf, I just want to display one that already exists, but display it within a form.
Is this possible?

Many thanks - I've looked at that thread and will give pdf.ocx a try.
Right-click on the toolbox and then click Customize, add
the COM component, Acrobat Control for ActiveX, and then
in the code put:
AxPdf1.src = "filename.pdf"
