Re: Calling Excel & Access from inside a CL.

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To clarify that...  ShellExecute() is what you'd use if you wanted to 
call it from a Windows program (like your VB program -- or, I often do 
it from C)

If you want to execute it as a remote command, you probably want to use 
ShellExec_RunDLL instead.  There's an example here:

(Except, replace the XLS document in the example with your PDF document)
