David:

Yes, its a great gift! Now I have another question but possibly I should start a new thread. Anyway I will ask you first.

I have this thing bringing up .pdf brochures by pushing a button under the product picture. The user can go from product to product with Back/Next buttons. I have discovered that each view of a .pdf file requires a new initiation of Adobe Acrobat. But if I launch Adobe Acrobat from its icon and minimize it on the task bar, then the display of the .pdf files is almost instantenous for each product because Adobe is already alive.

Do you know if there is some way of launching Adobe Acrobat progamatically so that it already alive before the user starts calling for the .pdf files?

Thanks. And have a Happy New Year! <s>
