Defining 'this error' would be a great help in beginning to answer your question.
Does he have the Adobe Reader installed on his machine?

Try a re-install of Adobe.

"this error" = The operation on the Acrobat document failed. The OLE server may not be registered. To register the OLE server re-install it

he has adobe reader installed on his machine
>>To register the OLE server re-install it

Perhaps that tidbit of information shold be heeded?
i re-installed it already, plus i used versions 6 to 8 and the error still persists
Can anyone else open this file?

hey this worked great thanks alot, i'm using version 6.0 the general post contains more details. thanks again
ok, i tried boag2000's solution and it solved the issue. adobe version 6.0 and 7.0 were installed for printing purposes. i selected the adobe files to open with 6.0 and it solved the problem. i read, while doing the research that this problem doesn't occur with version 6 and lower. thanks for all the help
Great!
