I'm not sure exactly what could be the issue but here is a suggestions to
try.
When I tested this, I copied a pdf file I had to my C drive. My test code
had
myFile = "C:\test.pdf"
With the line above, when I ran the script it opened the file using Adobe
reader (the default app associated with .pdf files)
I would suggest you try something similar and see if it works and post
back.

Paul D,
:
: Thank you so much for your reply. I entered the code as you have it,
: substituting yourfield.value for ItemNumber.value and received the
following
: error:
:
: An error has occurred in the script on this page.
: Line 181
: Char: 1
: Error: permission denied
: Code: 0
:
: When I go to line 181, it is this line "objShell.ShellExecute myFile,
"",
: "", "open", 1"
:
: Do you know what the problem could be?
:
: I have worked on trying to set up a command button or at least an
: alternative for quite some time and believe this is the only thing
holding
up
: posting dap for other users. Your time and help are greatly
appreciated.
: Thank you again,
: Pam
