My client's system recently upgraded from Acro Reader 11.0 to Adobe Pro. To open pdf files from within a database, I need to identify the path & file that opens pdf files. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Not sure what APIs you have available. Good practice is to not use the executable at all, but to use the ShellExecute API. You pass a file name and the file is opened. If you must have the executable name, FindExecutable is a good API.
