No, but you can use IE as a control and pass it a pdf. Christian The content of this post is not necessarily the opinion of my yadda yadda yadda. To understand recursion, we must first understand recursion.

Not really true. You can actually do it. However, it is a bit of a hack. Available methods: 1. Official Buy the Acrobat program and use the SDK. 2. Hacking! Acrobat reader actually installs two types of ocx. The real stuff with name as pdf41.ocx or pdf42.ocx depending on your machine AND a crippling version pdf.ocx as the so-called main. In some installations the pdf41.ocx/pdf42.ocx in never installed, I have still not taken the time to find the circumstances. Now, the pdf.ocx will not allow you to use the reader in your view or dialog. However, pdf41.ocx/pfd42.ocx will. The trick is to unregister the pdf.ocx and manually register the pdf41.ocx/pdf42.ocx and you can generate the C++ wrapper classes with the Visual C++ gallery or classwiz. I did this for a TeX/LaTeX IDE I was working on--an open source effort and we could not use the paid version!!! Regards, Paul.

Sorry, I should be careful how I word things - I meant no, I don't know. Christian The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
