Aaron Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 It might has something to do with Adobe Acrobat trying to open a PDF thats embedded in the Outlook email data files. Did it used to work OK before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcant Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 well to be honest its not on my computer, its on some companies computers, and as far as i understand they all have the same problem, it didnt happen (or they were not aware of it) until today, but i think it worked ok before.i was going crazy here for two hours thinking that the mail server is to blame, until i actually asked them to save the attachement and it worked.but still its very strange, and should not happen, i believe...could that actually be a problem with mail server? sounds very unlikely to me...

Tinker Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Sorry it did not work for you. I wonder if you looked to see if the file has the correct name as it suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Might check to see if they updated their Acrobat Reader across the network...just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcant Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 what do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I know on mine when I open Acrobat it asks if I would like to update to the newer version. I am using version 5 and I believe that version 6 is out...if the Network admin updated all their versions at the same time, well, maybe there is a prob.

Conan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 From what I know, Outlook by default will not let you open any attachment unless you save to a different location then open it there. There is a Reg tweak to address this, try searching on Google. I think Tweak XP also has a fix for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
