Good day,

I have a link in my dbase to open up a PDF document. What happens is that
the document opens and then closes in a flash. Could anyone tell what I need
to do too fix this?

Any help would be appreciated
 
On Double Click Event

Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Location

It opens word documents and Excel documents just fine. The PDF files open
and close in a flash.
 
Yeah they do. I have acrobat reader 7.0. I wonder if I need to add a
reference in like an axtiveX or something?
 
I'm not aware of any such requirement. (I'm assuming that when you say they
open that you can open them by double-clicking on them in Windows Explorer,
as opposed to opening Acrobat Reader and navigating to the file.)

See whether the ShellExecute API (illustrated in
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm at "The Access Web") performs any
better.
 
Yeah, on double click it opens the actual file like a word document in ms
word or an excel document in Excel. It opens JPGs and picture files.
Basically anything to do with MS Office.

The Pdf files open but then close right away, I can just see that when the
PDF opens it is opening in Acrobat reader but then closes.
