Dear All,
I am no idea why I cannot open the embedded object (Pdf file) inside
Excel file which using Windows ME.
Once clicked the object icons, then it shows the error message likes
" the embedded object cannot be opened by the source application"
I used the Adobe reader 6.01 as the source application.
Actually, I searched the related forum from the Internet. However, I
cannot solve the problem.
Anyone helps?
Thanks

Adobe Reader v6.01 isw old, and is *very* vulnerable. Those
vulnerabilities are actively being exploited in the wild !
Chances are the PDF is a greater version than v6.x can handle.
You *need* to upgrade to both a new OS and Adobe Reader v9.0
Isn't 9.0 the version with the currently exploited vulnerability? And as yet
unknown whether 10 has the same?
Also an unpatched Excel vulnerability, last I heard!
