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.


"Navigate" is not a word you will see in Windows. All I mean is that
once you are in the "Computer" Windows, change folders as you find
necessary to get you to a place where there is a pdf file.
