How do I add the Adobe PDF reader activex control to a form?
In Access 2007 - I clicked activex controls on the design tab and selected
PDF reader. I tried entering the URL that points to my PDF file (stored in a SharePoint document library) in the src property for this control, but it doesn't stick. It blanks out my entry as soon as I hit enter. I then tried to set the src property programattically in the onload event for the form, but there is no src property listed for this control when I am in the VB editor. Am I going about this wrong. I want to embed the display of a PDF document in my form without having to click the link and have it open in another window. Thanks in advance for your help. -Rob Harrington |

How do I add the Adobe PDF reader activex control to a form?
Thank you Arvin. Where do I find the browser control? it doesn't show up as
one of the available activeX controls. Can you point me to an example or documentation? -Rob Harrington "Arvin Meyer MVP" wrote: Early Adobe ActiveX did this, but Adobe made it more difficult starting with version 5.0. You might try using an IE browser control and open PDF document within that. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Rob Harrington" Rob wrote in message ...

How do I add the Adobe PDF reader activex control to a form?
I figured out how to turn on the web browser control and I added it to my
form, but when I try webBrowser3.Navigate = "www.mydomain.com" I get an error that this method is not supported. I don't see a SRC or URL method - how to I send a URL to my control? -Rob "Rob Harrington" wrote: Thank you Arvin.

Navigate is the correct method. You need to use the http:// protocol, or for
local files, you need the full qualified path. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Rob Harrington" wrote in message ...
