how?

See the ShellExecute function at

http://mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm

Use it as is to open the file, or pass the second argument as "Print"
instead of vbNullString to print the file (it wil open, print, and then close
the file in whatever registered app (acad I assume, or some viewer)).

All but the most recent versions of ACad have VBA programming capability as
well if you need further options...
