What you're actually trying to do there is read the contents of a PDF file into a string and then display that string on a command button.....is that really what you want to do, or do you want to be able to click the button, then the PDF opens in the default PDF reader program?
If it is the latter, then have a quick google on the SHELL function.
Otherwise, please clarify exactly what you're trying to achieve.

It's not a problem.....have a google on the SHELL function, or look in the forum here, it appears regularly.
If you're so new in VB6, I would be tempted to look at focusing your efforts on the newer VB.Net.
I'm not trying to put you off, but it makes sense to learn a newer language.
Good luck.
