Default Embedded PDF viewer in Access form - 02-04-2011 , 09:27 AM






I want to let remote clients who access my system via Terminal
Services view various word documents from within my MS Access 2003
application. But I don't want them to be able to ANYTHING else. They
must not be able to do anything to the document OR navigate the file
system in any way. Having tried everything I've come to the conclusion
that converting the documents to PDF on the fly and then displaying
them is the way to go.

I have created a modal popup form and placed on it the PDF Viewer X
ActiveX control. This is perfect except for 2 things:-

1. users can right click and access a sub menu which I would like to
prevent, but can't see how

2. by scrolling to the bottom of a document another popup appears
which includes SAVE as an option, and although I don't really care if
they save or not, the point is that I do not want them to be able to
navigate the file system

Can anyone guide me as to whether it's possible to stop either of
these popups

Thanks
Dave
