  YOu need to use the ShellExecute() API call

  Declare Function ShellExecute Lib _
       "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
       (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation _
       As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal _
       lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory _
       As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

  Then:

  ShellExecute 
  0,"Open","C:\MyPDF.pdf",vbNullString,CurDir$,vbNormalFocus
