I host a PHP Web site that is connected with FX.php to a FileMaker 8 Advanced data base. The database contain PDF stored in multimedia fields (fields that can contain files). I can make links to those files trough Web pages. Ex.

"http://localhost/fmi/xml/cnt/data.cnt?-db=DEVSymmdutv193&-lay=XME_Web_SectionSFTest&-recid=3055&-field=Sym_pdf_F(1)"

When I click on the link, a standard File Download dialog box appears and I have to choose whether I want to open or save the file. If I save the file, there is no problem viewing the PDF file. If I choose to open the file, Acrobat Reader opens but the following message appears "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." I tested it with an excel file and found the same kind of error message. So it is not a Acrobat related problem. It is more on Internet Explorer side. Moreover, it is working perfectly on Safari (Mac) and on Firefox (PC). I think that Internet Explorer either deletes or does not create the temporary file before opening Acrobat Reader.

Any Ideas ??

I had a similar problem at an Internet Cafe last week. I was just trying to open a pdf from my web-site!

It seemed to be an IE problem.

Good Luck.
