PDF References in Container Field Won't Open

in Remote Container Fields

Not sure if this is where to post this...

 

One of my users can insert references to PDF files in a container field, but double-clicking to open them does nothing.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Filemaker 11 to no avail.  The actual PDF files are located on a PC in my office and are accessible to all my users.

 

She has no problem navigating to the PDF's using Windows Explorer and opening them directly, so I think this may be an operating system issue (Windows 7 32-bit) or some dependency is missing.

 

All other users with identical Windows 7 PC's can open the files without a problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Are you using FireFox as your default browser?

Do you use Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Or do you use some other option?

you need to export the pdf to a temp folder then auto open it.
