>>Hi everyone,
>>
>>I uninstalled today Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0, since I had Acrobat 4.0 full version installed. My pdf become not associated with any program. Then I used Open with option and set it to something wrong. The question: what should I set it to and how should I do it?
>>
>>Thanks in advance.

>Check the "use DDE" option
>DDE message: [FileOpenEx("%1")]
>Application: acroview

Thanks a lot for the detailed instruction. Well, I'm a risky person. I've just uninstalled it in hope, then when I'll install it back it sets PDF automatically. I now have to wait till tomorrow (I'm leaving right now anyway) to install it back.
Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
