how to pass field parameters to open a pdf

I was wondering if someone could provide any guidance on how to do this?

I would like to use on of the 'action' command to open a file that is store on a network drive. In this case it is a pdf.   However, when the user click on the action, I would like the month and year field selection to be passed in the action command. 

For example, if  year field '2012' is selected month 'Nov' is selected and once the action command is executed it would grab those to selected field and replace it in the syntax to open the file (ie:(c:\Nov2012.pdf)

Any thoughts are suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Use the "Launch" action. The Filename parameter can use an expression. So for the filename you can speficy something like:

='c:\' & Month & Year & '.pdf'
