You want to know how to open a PDF that resides on the server in a client
browser, right?
You should be able to do that with a simple a href=pathtoyour.pdf
target=_blankClick Here/a link. You can change the target to open a new
window or replace the current window or whatever suits your needs.
OK. So if I understand corectly, a link with the path to the file on the
server will work. How do I have a new browser opened displaying the PDF
more or less automatically, ie, without the user clicking anything? Is
this a Header() function?

Yes, you've got it so far. To open another browser window automatically, you
just use the target=_blank attribute that I listed in the example in the
previous e-mail. That will spawn a new browser window with the PDF file in
it and leave the original browser window open.

Richard and Karen,
Thanks for your help this morning with my PDF question. I created the link
dynamically as you suggested.
In retrospect, I also think that I was seeking a javascript solution,
i.e., now that the PDF file exists on the web server :
?php
$openPDF = SCRIPT
