"MyCreateProcess" function...

Declare Function MyCreateProcess Lib "coredll" _
        Alias "CreateProcessW" ( _
        ByVal lpApplicationName As String, _
        ByVal lpCommandLine As String, _
        ByVal lpProcessAttributes As Long, _
        ByVal lpThreadAttributes As Long, _
        ByVal bInheritHandles As Long, _
        ByVal dwCreationFlags As Long, _
        ByVal lpEnvironment As Long, _
        ByVal lpCurrentDirectory As Long, _
        ByVal lpStartupInfo As Long, _
        ByVal lpProcessInformation As String) As Long

"Shell" function...

Public Function Shell(ByVal Application As String, ByVal Parameters As String) As Long

Shell = MyCreateProcess(Application, Parameters, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, (0,0,0,0,))

End Function

Call to shell function...

v_ShellResult = Shell("\Windows\fexplore.exe", _
        grdPdf.TextMatrix(grdPdf.Row, 1))
    If v_ShellResult <> 0 Then MsgBox "Shell() error: " & v_ShellResult

Notice that the "grdPdf.TextMatrix(grdPdf.Row, 1))" is just a reference to the contents of a grid control -- it only contains a path to the pdf file I want to open. I'm actually shelling out to the file explorer and passing the file as a parameter to the shell function.

Hope this helps!
