Opening a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 8.0
Excel XP & Win XP
I have used the following code (credit to Tom Ogilvy) to open a .pdf file. It has worked just fine, now it doesn't. I now get an error that the file cannot be found. The only difference that I am aware of is that I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.0 from Adobe Reader 7.0. Question: Does anyone have an insight as to what may be happening? Thanks for your time. Otto Sub OpenPdfFile(WhichOne As String) Dim Filename As String Dim myShell As Object Set myShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Filename = "C:\LettersForms\Ops Manual\" & WhichOne & " Ops Manual.pdf" myShell.Run ("AcroRd32.exe " & Filename) End Sub |

I should have added that Acrobat Reader (8.0) does open with this code, but
that's all. Otto "Otto Moehrbach" wrote in message ... Excel XP & Win XP I have used the following code (credit to Tom Ogilvy) to open a .pdf file. It has worked just fine, now it doesn't.

Opening a .pdf file with Adobe Reader 8.0
Tim
Thanks for your response. The code I included in my original post works as is with Acrobat Reader 7.0. I and my OP both had 7.0 and it worked fine with both of us. We both now have 8.0 and that code no longer works (cannot find the file error) for either one of us. The OP reinstalled 7.0 and the code works fine again for him. I am looking for help in modifying the code as needed to work with 8.0. Thanks again.
