Hello,

I had problems too when trying to run external commands from SQR. It seams that 
(perhaps) it is
due to memory limitations of the SYSTEM command in SQR.

I have bypassed the problem with the following trick on Win2k :

Let $MyCommand = 'CMD /C @START /WAIT /MIN ' || $MyProgram

Doing so, you run a simple CMD.EXE program (Brio can run it) and only from 
there you run your
needed program (in your case the Acrobat program).

The /MIN parameter is optional here, I wanted to have a minimized windows. 
Check CMD /? from a
command prompt window to see what you do with that command...

Hope this will solve your pb...

Charly
