application.FollowHyperlink error when opening .fdf files

T

I have code that creates an .FDF file. The code then attempts to open the
file using this...

Application.FollowHyperlink strFileName

The code works on some computers, but not all. The ones that don't work get
this error...

"There was an error opening this document. File does not begin with '%PDF_'

What is strange, is that when you click "ok" on the error message, the file
opens fine. So, why the error message? Regardless, this is a major
nuisance because the code opens about 10 different FDF files so you get the
error 10 times. The only variation I've seen between machines that are
working and not working is that the working computers are using Adobe
Acrobat Pro 8 and the nonworking ones are using Acrobat Pro 6.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks!!!

It sounds to me like testing one of those nonworking machines by
putting Adobe 8 on it will help you determine if its a version
specific problem. I'd try that as a sanity check first before I
started pulling my hair out.
