It's the story of my life. Everytime I try something it
seems I get, "Funny, no one every tried that before". I
finally have it working nicely. I'm able to send a PDF
file with hyperlinks. In an email it works great since
the receiver can use the links, and with email it looks
good and the print dialog does not pop up. Perfect.
Thanks for all the help. I'm sure well go back and forth
again sometime soon. You DA man!!!
