I currently use a form to open certain PDF documents on our shared drive. Using VB I set the hyperlink property of the command button to point to and open the specific file of interest. This has been working perfectly for over a year now. However, since I’ve upgraded to version 7.0 of Adobe Acrobat Reader things do not work anymore. When the command button is clicked Acrobat appears to open for a split second but then closes itself.

Is this a new security function with Acrobat or something? Does anyone have any idea what this is all about?
 
For what it is worth, I had similar problems and went back to version 6.0 reader several months ago. Since then I install the full version of 7.0 and haven't had any more problems. There might be some update patches required, but I don't know for sure as the full version works okay now.
