Good Morning,
I am currently using Windows Mail for all of my e-mails. Many of the e-mails
I receive come in the pdf. format. I work from home and need to see them for
that purpose. When I click on the paperclip to see the attachement I receive
the following message in a box. "This file does not have a program associated
with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set
Associations control panel." Can anyone please tell me what I need to do and
where to do it?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Lynn

First of all, you need to have the Adobe Reader program installed.

Secondly, if you save that PDF attachment, can you open it
successfully by double-clicking on the saved file?

If the first two hurdles are passed, but PDFs won't open from inside
Windows Mail, apply this fix:

Let us know which step fixed the problem.
