If you truly mean "in" there are very few good options.  The only one that comes to
mind would be to use a webbrowerser control and .naviagate to it, hoping the plug-in
is installed.

If you really mean "from", then you're in far better shape!

  Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA"
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal
lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

  Public Function OpenDoc(ByVal DocFile As String) As Long
     ' Actually uses the default verb if available, and "open" otherwise
     OpenDoc = ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, DocFile, vbNullString, vbNullString,
vbNormalFocus)
  End Function
