Outlook 2002 will not open *.pdf file attachments. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 installed, I reinstalled Outlook 2002. This is on Windows 2000. At first, Outlook was trying to open *.pdf files with Windows Media Player. I uninstalled media player, now *.pdf files will not open at all. Any ideas?

Sounds as if you need to re-associate PDF files.

Right click on Start --> Explore
Tools --> Folder Options --> File Types and tpye in pdf. If you do not see open with Acorbat Reader, then click on the change button and follow this path on your local hdd to acrobat Reader:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

It may be in a slightly different path if you installed the program elsewhere. You need to find the acrord32.exe program.

This sounds like you need to associate .pdf files with Acrobat. Left click on a .pdf icon once and then hold down a shift key and right click on the icon. Now you should see a choice on the menu of "open with..." and select Acrobat and check the "always open with..." box as well. That should cause Acrobat to open when ever you click on a pdf file.
