I've been playing with the same code and have the pdf come up some of the
time and some of the not. ShellExecutes always returns 42 whether it
works or not. Has anyone else seen this or have an explanation?
I tried it with .doc files and had Word come up almost every time. The
return code is always 33.
Also tried .txt files - always failed always returned 42.
I am curious about the first parameter. What does "hwnd" represent?
TIA - Joe yoder
