ps.
After trying to get the filename from the user, you may want: if filename = false then exit sub end if Just in case they clicked the cancel button.

try wrapping the filename with double quotes:
"...\Reader\AcroRd32.exe " & chr(34) & filename & chr(34), 1 As an experiment, you may want to copy the .pdf file to your C:\ folder. Rename this copy so that there are no spaces in the file (C:\a.pdf) and test that.
