Dear Forum
Yes I am a newbie and no I am not a programmer.
Can anybody a a simple example that does the following
1. User selects an item from a list box containing of 5-6 documents (pdf, powerpoint, word etc)
2. For each item a different document is opened.

Yes I know there are examples in the Help file.
But it will take me hours, probably days before I can get up and running for such as simple action.
Thanks

Your in luck, I just finished similar solution. Attached is a two-page example of one way to do as you request, i.e. using a listbox to list a set of documents and clicking on an item will display the document.

The example uses two pages. On page 1 there is a listbox. Each item (document) in the list is numbered, starting with '0'. A 'left mouse action' has a 'Select...Case' statements attached. Each case expression corresponds to the number of the document in the list. After each case statement there are two actions: 1. assign the 'txtDocChosen' variable to the name of the document to display. 2. A 'GotoPage' action displays the document in a 'DocView' object on the second page. When assigning 'txtDocChosen' include the directory, e.g. "C:\\myProgram\\myDoc.pdf", or use SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\myDoc.pdf".

Whilst there is a tiny amount of programming here, look at the attached example and it should be clear how it works.
