We have an MS Access program that runs reports out of our database. It has the ability to write out to PDF. On every machine in the office except one user's machine, when you create the PDF from in the Access application, it works. It creates a file and in this case it attaches it to an email and puts it in your drafts folder in Outlook (not every report is an email report like that, so in some cases it just saves to a PDF file and is done).

This one user's machine though, it is instead creating the PDF, and then opening it. This then puts a lock on it, which won't allow it to be attached to an email, so it then crashes the process (Outlook that is, Adobe stays open).

This worked until this weekend.

I reinstalled Acrobat Writer (v4.0) on her machine and it still does it.

Is there a setting for the PDF Writer to "automatically open the file after creating it" that is perhaps set on her machine and not the others. I can run it anywhere else and it works perfectly - I don't see anything different about her system.
