i am putting together a database to generate parts manuals. the manuals are made of a collection of pdf's.
currently the database prompts the user for necessary options (which have a hyperlink associated)
i would like to click a button which will open acrobat and the 15 or so selected pages. i am having a hard time getting it open the pages.

at this point i am using a shell command to open acrobat, but i am not sure how to get it to pull in the selected opetions.
this is what i have:

Private Sub Command4_Click()
Shell ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe")
End Sub

any help is appreciated, thanks
