    Access PDF Display

    I have a Form in Access 2002 that will show a PDF Drawing file just fine on one computer but when I go to a 2nd computer it will just show the Icon for the PDF file (Drawing would be in a Bound Object Frame Size Mode is Clip)

    Thanks
    Ray

    Do you have the Acrobat Application (or reader) installed on the second PC, if so is it the same version of Acrobat as the first PC?

      Yes it is installed on second compter but not the same version? But I got the PDF from the that computer and it showed up on my computer with a lower version.

        I can only guess that your PC is the one that you are using to design this. That could be the reason there depending on how and where the pdf it is stored and how you are displaying it. If you have any VBA references set for the PDF files then the reference on your PC could be the issue.

        Displaying an OLE item doesn't always work the same as simply opening it in it's own native application. I would suggest that you set everyone up with the more recent version otherwise you could try and chase this down forever.

        Hope some of this helps.
