Hi all,

I have a simple bat file that wil open a pdf file.
It is as simple as:

"c:\apps\bur_0335\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\Temp\78536657.pdf
exit %errorlevel%"

There is ofcourse more behind this. This is cmd file generated from an
applet who opens a pdf file that was generated by a documentumserver...
.

But i got a problem with this bat file.
On a pc with windows NT and acrobat reader 6.0 this gives a return code
0 .
On a pc with windows XP and acrobat reader 7.0 this gives a return code
1.

Does someone know what is different and what we could do to get a
return code 0?

exit 1 is not an option :-) .
