Greetings!
I report with much jubilance that my problem has been solved! It was,
as Irv Kalb said, a problem with my path separator...as soon as I
switched back to Script #8 with slashes instead of colons, all became
well in the world of multimedia design! The PDF now opens without a
hitch. Thanks so very much to all of you who took the time to reply to
my message and to you Irv, for solving my problem!
Cordially,
Leila Singleton

Hi,
The problem is definitely a path issue. As a newbie, you may not be
aware of the path separator being different on PC's and Macs. On a Mac
is the colon ":", but on Windows is the slash "\". In general, you
can get this character by using:
delim = the last char of the moviePath
But in your specific case, I see that you want to run this on Windows
only, and you are specifically using the Windows Acrobat reader
(acrord32.exe).
From your examples below, I am assuming that the you have a folder
called "reader", and in that folder there is lccc_app.pdf and
acrord32.exe.
I would try using your #8, but using the slash as the separator:
on mouseUp
open the moviePath&"reader\lccc_app.pdf" with the
moviePath&"reader\acrord32.exe"
end
I would stay away from the "@" in file paths. It is supported in some
things and not in others.
