No. I have both installed. Acrobat Reader 6.0 works fine. Acrobat
Standard 7.0 works fine. One does not intefere with the other as long
as they are installed to the default program locations.

I just got off the phone with Adobe Support. They are aware of this
problem and will be posting an update on their website "in the near
future". I asked for some time frame, but support wouldn't tell me.

I had precisely the same problem. Here's what I discovered. I
originally only had Acrobat Reader 6.0 loaded on my computer and my
Excel hyperlinks to pdf files worked fine.

I later installed Acrobat Standard 7.0, and suddenly the link did
not
work. When I clicked on the link to a pdf file, I could see
Acrobat
start to launch and then disappear. No Go!

SOLUTION: I reinstalled Acrobat Reader 6.0 using the "repair"
selection and Voila! the hyperlinks now work fine again. There
must
have been something in the Acrobat Standard 7.0 installation that
broke
a critical registry entry.
