Problems opening PDF file in Outlook 1

[hahnsm]

I am using Windows XP and Outlook 2002. When I try to open up a pdf attachement, outlook will open it up in wordpad. How can I change the settings so the pdf file will open up in Acrobat Reader?? I searched Microsoft's website and came up with nothing.
Thanks
Sadie

In windows explorer go to: tools-folder options-file types-
look for pdf, change it to open with acrobat reader(you'll probably have to browse to the folder that the reader exe is in.)
Let me know how u get on.
