attaching document images to a filepro file

[Richard Kreiss]

The suggestions given were spot on.

However, there is a way to avoid some of the issues pointed out.  Use the
filePro config file and set your own environmental variable to point to the
location of  your PDF files.

Windows
I.e. set PFPDFFile=N:\appl\PDF_Files - (N=Windows Drive Letter, location of
your PDF files is your choice).  The only issue is the file name.  You can
use qq=getenv("PFPDFFile") when you want to open a pdf file.  If this
extension has been assigned to a particular program, opening the PDF is
simple.

You could also create a browse to list the available PDF files and allow for
selecting the one the user wants.

Once open, all of the Windows functions in the PDF reading program are
available to the user.
