Problems Linking From WORD To Adobe Acrobat 5

[quirkyjoe]

Using Word 2002 SP3 and Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5

I am in WORD. I establish a hyperlink to the Acrobat file.

When I click on the link in WORD to go to the Acrobat file when the
Acrobat file is NOT open, I get a quick blink of, what appears to be,
Acrobat Reader 7 and that is all. The Acrobat file does not open.

If I open the Acrobat 5 file first, then link, then no problem. It
goes right to it.

Any way to have Acrobat start and properly link?

Thanks
