VIEWING A PDF WITHIN VB

[PrgrmsAll]

I have my form set up with a webBrowser control and I am trying to set the .Navigate2 proprty to be the location of a PDF file on the root of C (C:\Sample.pdf). Although I can navigate my IE to this file and open it successfully, I am unable to get the webBrowser object to display the file.

The error message I am receiving is "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument."

Here's the code I am using:

txtContractLoc = "C:\Sample.pdf"
WebBrowser.Navigate2 txtContractLoc

Works OK here - is your webbrowser control actually called WebBrowser? The default name is WebBrowser1

WB.Navigate txtContractLoc

Wouldn't it be easier to use the Acrobat Ocx ?

Me.Pdf1.LoadFile Me.AcrobatPath

Pdf1 is the control
AcrobatPath is a text with the path as text.

What is the OCX called?

... or do you have to have Acrobat, and not just the viewer?
