That works if you are sure the user has Acrobat Reader 8 installed. If they have an earlier version or use another PDF reader, it will break. That;s why the ShellExecute is a better solution, it will open any registered file type with the registered application. FWIW, I don't put Acrobat reader on my clients machines, I give them Foxit Reader instead. It's smaller, faster, more secure and offers more capablities than Adobe's bloated offering. (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/). It also has some really good, reasonably priced add-ons if you want to do more than just read PDFs.
