I have a Microsoft Access 2000 database. I have pdf files saved on my
computer. I want to have a cmd button on a form that users click on in
Access that opens up a pdf. I know that the users must have acrobat
installed on their computer.
I can't find any info on how to open up non microsoft products through
access 2000.

Erik,
Two possible approaches...
1. Put a field in a table, Hyperlink data type, where you store the
path to the pdf files, bind a form to this, and then just open the pdf
by click on the link.
2. Use a file handler function, such as that found at
