On button click, my code uses Application.FollowHyperlink
to open a PDF that lives on a remote server. The folder containing that file has been shared by giving full control to everyone. The file opens up with Adobe Acrobat, which is weird since the default program to open a PDF on the local server is set to Chrome. The file then closes after about 4 seconds, not sure why. I can navigate to the folder where the file lives on the local server and open it with Chrome just fine. I can also RDP into the remote server and open the file there using Edge by default with no issues. The remote server does not have Adobe Acrobat installed.
Private Sub btnOpenCert_Click()
Dim WO As String
Dim CoCFolder As String

Dim FilePath As String
WO = FieldOnForm
'...run a stored procedure using an ADODB connection, then interpret results...
CoCFolder = GetCoCFolder()
CustPO = GetPropertyFromWO(WO, 1)
FilePath = CoCFolder & CustPO & "_" & WO & ".pdf"
Application.FollowHyperlink FilePath
