PDF Display Problem, Access 2007

[rickhubner]

Okay, I don't get it. Perhaps you can give me some insight. I had tried going back to earlier versions of Adobe Reader, thinking perhaps something there was the issue with why I couldn't see Adobe objects on my form. Anyway, I finally went back to Adobe 7 and my Access form would miraculously show the Adobe thumbnail. I then updated back to Adobe DC and everything still worked on the Access forms.

I'd like to understand why that may have fixed things. I need to make it work on other computers in my shop and it seems awfully lame to have to do what I did in order to make it work.

You mentioned the OLE control being "old". Could the "control" have been messes up? I don't even know how to check any of that stuff. I'm a pretty basic user with just enough skill to get by. Any ideas are appreciated



Thanks again for your efforts to help me.

Controls can become corrupt. After that, third party software and dll's can become an issue. A registry setting may have been the issue. It's hard to say. If all of the workstations are opening the same Access file, that can be a contributing factor.

If one machine has version 1 of Acrobat and another has version 2, a just in time compilation of the Access file could create issues. Suggest you split the database and use copies to distribute to each of the workstations.
