PDF attachments not opening in OE but in Explore
Yes, I have Adobe Reader 9 installed. I can open the pdf files if I save
them first and then double click them in Explore. Jack ------------------------------------ "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Contact Adobe Support...or install Foxit Reader as your default PDF reader
and see if the behavior persists. OE is *not* the problem. Jack B wrote: Yes, I have Adobe Reader 9 installed. I can open the pdf files if I save them first and then double click them in Explore.

Bruce, Robear --
Thanks. I installed Foxit and that solves the problem. Is there any reason to keep Adobe Reader 9 installed? Jack ------------------------------------------- "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Not really. You will also notice that Foxit takes up about a tenth of the
space that Adobe does. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Jack B" wrote in message ... Bruce, Robear -- Thanks. I installed Foxit and that solves the problem.
