847090 2010-01-08 08:09:00 it's a pdf file and i've done what speedy says but surely my email program should open it anyway shouldn't it ? patto (12399)
847091 2010-01-08 08:10:00 Nope it doesnt do it by default. What email client are you using? And what PDF program? Speedy Gonzales (78)
847092 2010-01-08 08:18:00 I'm not sure what you mean by email client,i go through sling shot my server and they forward it onto my computer,if i forward it onto my gmail account it can open it no problem,if i knew what they meant by setting the Set associations control panel i thought i might be able to open them in future from my email program patto (12399)
847093 2010-01-08 08:23:00 What program are you using for email?? Windows mail or other? Try this (www.winhelponline.com). Down the bottom Speedy Gonzales (78)
