[AccessD] Back to Web Browser ActiveX

Hey John
The only thing I use the Web Browser ActiveX for, is to quickly view the
PDFs stored in my folders on the drives I have my machine. 
Simply Put
A form, the control and a list box (lots of other stuff but..).
The user scrolls through the list and the PDF file very quickly displays in
the control box with the Adobe options available.

I have not tried automating it for Web browsing, that is probably a whole
new can of beans full of complexities.

I have used the web browser activeX just recently.  I spent hours trying to
automate it.  In the end I failed, I just use it as a control on a form.
Sigh.  It works but...
