Jared- Thanks so much for the info! Just as I received your email the support team from Adobe also emailed me asking for details about this issue, which I just sent off to them. I'll give them 24 hours to see if they come back with anything significant and if they don't I'll be diving headfirst into your Java instructions. I'm all about workarounds, but if I'm going to recommend, and then have to support a product to a client I feel like this is something Adobe should be at least be able to recognize and address. And I'm not the only person having this very issue either.
Thanks again J, beers on me next time I'm in the Alagad 'hood.
