Open a PDF document from local drive the trigger button of Oracle 6i form

Hi all.
I have an oracle forms 6i application. The system from where the forms are run... has a local folder with pdf documents. the requirement is that when the user clicks a button in the form of oracle... the respective pdf in the local folder should open (in the browser or in adobe pdf format or in any other way).
I really desperately need this help. a google. has not used the host and client_host commands in the trigger button but I am presented with error message 'host, client_host' undeclared.

bundles of thanks in advance to get out.

client_host is not available in forms 6i as part of webutil. However you don't need client_host. Simply use the host :

question

host('rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler '||path_to_your_file);

to open the pdf file with the associated reader pdf (Adobe Reader, or what you have installed).

see you soon
