[WEB4LIB] Acrobat Reader problems

[Mike Novak]

Tracey,

Can you open Acrobat Reader 5 outside of IE?  You might try setting browser
integration off:  from within Reader, go File -> Preferences -> General and
uncheck "Enable browser integration"  (I don't have AR5 in front of me but
this should be close)

Hope this helps,
