[AccessD] View PDF in Unbound Object Control

Yep. 
Drop a browser control onto a form.
Call it say...actXMyBrowser.
view the PDF file in the browser with code like this...
Me.actXMYBrowser.navigate "c:\SomeFolder\SomePDFFile.pdf"

All,

I really need some input on this.  If it is not possible, please let me
know.

I think I can do it with a .Net project and view the document in a browser
window using the different MIME format stuff the browser makes available.

But, is using a browser control also the answer here?
