Hyperlink and PDF

[HarryB]

Version of Access used - 2003
Plan - Hyperlink field in a form which would pull up a saved PDF of a saved invoice.
Problem - added Hyperlink - used edit hyperlink function to look up and add PDF file which is saved on PC to the field but the PDF will not open. Tried the same with a word file - it will open.
Question - Can Access 2003 open a PDF file? If so - how can I fix this. If not, will I have to reformat the file to be JPeg or something like that?

Thanks
Harry

Do you have Adobe Acrobat on your machine?
Is Acrobat the program to open .pdf files?

 

[HarryB]

Yes - I can normally open any PDF files.

Sorry Acrobat reader X - does that work?

I had this problem and i discovered that i am using adobe acrobat 7, i upgraded to adobe reader 9 and it worked without any problem.

I have Acrobat Reader X - I would think that would be compatable with Acrobat reader 9?
