Cannot open PDF files using Lotusscript

 Using IBM Notes 10.0.1FP2 and Office 365 on Windows 10 (latest version)

Up until this week end, I was able to use the following code to open a PDF file from within Notes, using the WScript (Windows Scripting host) object:

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
returnValue = objShell.Run(fileName, 3, False)

The varable filename contains the fully qualified path for a PDF file.

Now I just get an error message 'OLE: Automation object error' when trying to execute the objShell command.

Is this a new Windows 10 / Office 365 problem, or do I need to make changes to my Notes & Windows environments to get it to work again?

    This is most likely a configuration issue with your operating system. Check which application is assigned to the file extension.
