Can some of you test this link for me please? Open the pdf and try the link. It's not working on my computer. I'm trying to see if it's a problem with my pdf converter or my machine. When its in Word, it works but when I convert it to pdf, it doesn't work for me.

Anyway, if you got a few seconds, open the pdf and let me know if the link in it works or not.

Thanks.....

Didn't work for me. Looked like it would; a dialogue box came up giving me the option to allow or to block. I allowed but then nothing happened.

Same steps for me, but selecting 'allow' did work and took me to the site.

I discovered something. If I open a blank IE window the link will work. If I try to do it with the only the Inspection News page up it won't. If I close all windows and try it from the pdf document stored on my drive, it opens IE and navigated to the link.

Not sure but would this suggest an IE issue on my end? Odd kinda problem. I'm not worried about it for my use but I want my clients to be able to use the links in the PDF's I send out.

Worked for me John, although you may want to hire a professional model for the mug shot.

hahaha...no soup for you!!!

BTW, that rental insp I did the other day did have the ADT smoke alarms but they were not hardwired. The client was not happy when I told them it didn't comply with Balt County.

Thanks again Mike for helping with my questions now and then. See you at the next meeting.
