The code is: : : : ShellExecute(Handle,'open',PChar'c:\data\gradesheets.pdf'),nil,nil,SW_SHOW); : : : but all that happens when this is executed is the Adobe Acrobat splash screen appears and then closes, and the file is never opened. : : : Any ideas on what I may be missing? : : : Thanks : : Try it like this: : : ShellExecute(Handle, PChar('Open'), PChar('c:\data\gradesheets.pdf'),nil , PChar('c:\data'), SW_SHOWNORMAL); : : l8rz : Thanks for the help. : It's weird, when I run it in debug mode it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but when I run it staight from the .exe it always works...
