Lotus Notes - open a file from Action Button

Is there any chance to open a file / document ( .pdf / .txt ) that is located in (for example ) the C drive: from an action button?

I read about Shell function in LotusScript, in which you must specify the path.

Are there any other solutions?

If you want to open a file like .pdf or .txt and this extension is connected in Windows with a program to open with then you need only to specify the filepath of your file.

This would be the formula:

@Command([Execute]; "C:\\temp\\myFile.pdf")

and this the LotusScript code:

Dim result As Integer
result = Shell("C:\temp\myFile.pdf", 1)
