Launch Acrobat from Excel?
 

Trying to launch Adobe Acrobat from a toolbar button in Excel and am having
difficulty with VBA code. Have tried:

Sub OpenAcrobat()
myfile = "C\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
Shell "Start" & myfile
End Sub

but keep getting 'File not found' error

Help gratefully appreciated
