Default Openning a pdf file

To Lobo:
Yes I do. It is Adobe Reader 9.2 (Which I downloaded without charge). As far
as the pdf document is concerned, I had the originator send me a hard copy
in the mail so it is no longer a problem. Thanks, however, for the interest.

I recently received an E-Mail with a pdf file attachment. When I try
to
open
it, I get a dialog box telling me "This file does not have a program
associated with it. Create an Association in the Set Association
Control
Panel".

I am using Microsoft Office 2007 Outlook and I do not see any "Set
Association Control Panel". I do have Adobe Reader 9 installed but
that
does
not seem to be the answer. Can I get some direction on this one?


Go to My Computer and navigate to *any* pdf file. Right-click on it,
and choose "Open with." Choose Adobe Reader from the list, and check
the box "Always use this program..."

That creates the association.

Ken:
I appreciate your response but I did not mention that I am using
Windows
Vista and I do not see any "My Computer" to go to. Can you tell me what
the
equivalent selection would be in Vista?


Just "Computer" instead of "My Computer," but it's the same thing.

Am I going crazy or what? I do not see any option to "navigate" to
anything under my "computer". Perhaps I just do not understand these
ultra brief responses.


Just lurking here and was wondering if you have the Adobe Reader program
installed on your computer? If not you can find it he
http://get.adobe.com/reader/ or another free one that is not as large of a
file:
