If not, check the file associations for PDF are correctly set e.g. by re-installing Acrobat. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |

You might check your file type definitions.
My Computer, tools, file types, folder options Open [Edit] would look something like: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1" I would avoid having PDF files being opened within anything but the Adobe Reader because it really slows down IE and Firefox if you open from within a browser as if it were an HTML file. You would not want Word using IE to open a PDF file, and that I suspect might be your problem. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Dougie" wrote in message ...

Checked that and it's OK.
The hyperlink should launch Adobe Acrobat and open file file within it. Adobe launches, then immediately closes. I've tried removing Acrobat and re-installing but nothing changes. All other applications used as a hyperlink launch works, i.e. Word, Paint Shop Pro, even E-mail. "David McRitchie" wrote: You might check your file type definitions.

I'm having the exact same problem--from a Word hyperlink Acrobat opens and
immediately closes. I've got Office XP and Acrobat 7. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Oh, the full Acrobat not just the Acrobat Reader, interesting.
