I have an access database that we share on a public drive. Also there
is a folder in the same drive that has PDF documents. On my computer, I
can pull up the PDF document off the hyperlink but on my friends PC,
when you click the hyperlink, it flickers and the PDF file doesn't
load. Any advice from the Pros would be helpful.

Can your friend view the PDF file by navigating directly to it on the public drive? If not, their account may not have
the necessary permissions, and you'll need to review and set those permissions appropriately
If they can open the PDF directly, check the Hyperlink's Address property and make sure it's pointing to the correct
file.
Also, make sure their workstation has the correct file associations to view PDF files. Normally, if they can view any
PDF file on their workstation by doubleclicking, the file assocation is correct.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your help on this but this is really strange. I went into
the PDF folder on my friends computer and he can open and view the PDF
files from the PDF folder. I even linked a couple of PDF files onto the
database from his computer but he cannot view the PDF docs. I went over
to my computer and I can view all the PDF hyperlinks that I did earlier
from his PC.
