[MS_AccessPros] How to use web browser control to display pdf in form.

 

This used to be done with the adobe activeX control but that is no longer available.
I am new to this project and I've been pulling my hair out over this.

I can open a pdf (in adobe reader) but that is not the requirement. It does help me know that I have the path, etc. In this case I'm using "Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Documents_Subform_List.Form.DocLocation,,True,False"

Q1 - All the MS documentation says to open form in Layout view, add the (activeX control?) and then click on the control and it will open "Insert Hyperlink.
When I go to layout view I can only see "Use Control Wizards" and it will not open or display any wizard. Does anyone else have this experience?

Q2 If I go to design view, I can add the activeX control "Microsoft Web Browser" which is what the client specified, but I have tried many ways to get it to find my pdf but it will not.
Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm using Win8 MS Access 2016.

If anyone can help I will be very grateful!

Thank you,

Patty Mapes
