Sonic - thanks for your reply... 

I tried your example and it does work from here also. 

My code in the intermediate htm file is functionally identical to yours (new_window.htm), which I believe is very similar to the FAQ example.  

It looks like the difference is the type of files being requested. Your example loads pdf files in both windows. In our case, we request an asp file that updates the database with any field changes and then returns the intermediate htm file. The htm file loads the help file in a new window and then requests another asp file. This asp populates an fdf file to refresh the original window (using the same code that populated the original form). Everything works, but the refreshed pdf form ends up in the wrong window. 

Have you tried any similar approaches? Do you think the work around is limited to requesting PDF files?  

I could try to live without a separate window for the help file. Right now, a bigger problem is figuring out why reader opens new windows on some platforms when a pdf form is requested. Have you seen this problem? 

thanks, 
Jon
