Once again thanks for the input. Was able to get the "browser" version to work with the following exception, it opens the PDF in the reader, not the control. Accordng to the notes you should be able set an option to display the PDF in the control. I have Adobe Standard and Adobe DC Reader installed. Could not find that option in the internet options for the reader and "standard version". Did a search and Adobe says to enable the reader add on under "manager add ons" which is enabled. Still no joy...
For now am going to use the _shell execute, works just like the other. In the meantime does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the PDF to display within the control...
