Opening a pdf from within program

How would I open a pdf from the application.startup path? (assuming the user
has a pdf reader available)

Thanks,
Tony

Take a look at th 'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start' method. You can use
'System.IO.Path.Combine' to create the full path of the PDF file.

Hi,
Also you can use:

Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(<path>,args..)
p.WorkingDirectory = Application.StartupPath
