Cannot open the Insert object (Pdf file) form Excel 2000(9.0.8968 SP-3)
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 tlee |

Hi,
I can't test 2000 in ME, but it works fine in 2003 under XP. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Also an unpatched Excel vulnerability, last I heard! |

If you choose not to install the Ask Toolbar, FoxIt is crippled. I am using an older version I guess.....but my Foxit is not crippled nor is it asking for a Toolbar (pun not intended, grin). Just checked it and it is Version 2.0, Build 0930. I use it fairly frequently for jewellery designs, etc. And it works just fine. It did ask for something recently, but I said NO, and it worked just fine. I think all of us who used WinME for years are wary of adding stuff to programs, etc. I will admit to it myself......but it is a hard to break habit. I would assume that www.oldversion.com just might have this version. Heather |
