pdf files wont open from within apps

[ednz]

When I try to open a pdf file from within an application (eg outlook express attachment, turbocad help file) I get a message that no application is associated with file type .pdf.

I have adobe acrobat associated with .pdf files. If I double click on a pdf file in windows explorer it opens normally. it just wont do it from within an app. So I have to find and save to disk the file, then double-click on it.

This is a similar problem to that in thread779-931109.

Can anyone help?

Presuming you are on about Adobe Reader, you can launch Adobe Reader, go to the Help menu, and choose Detect and Repair. This will repair the installation and hopefully fix the file association issues you are receiving.
