Hi Kevin,

hopefully someone else can jump in regarding Paradox specifically, but 
from a pure container perspective you could embed an iWebBrowser 
interface and from Windows Vista onward you can embed an iFilePreview 
interface within any Window (Paradox form or otherwise).

The only issue then becomes one of bitness - if the application (ie 
paradox) is 32 bit then the PDF viewer must also be 32 bit. Same goes 
for Word and excel containers. Even Windows suffers from this issue.

FWIW
Leslie.
