Exactly,

Is it possible to display a VFP form when clicking on a subject? (a stretch perhaps?)

You want to prevent those PDFs from being saved?

I think you can create those PDFs with some security flags to prevent them from being saved (or printed) with some PDF generators, but AFAIK you can't open PDFs in a browser (as you're doing from the help file) and impose rules on what you can do with it externally.

+++ Rick ---

We build our Help Files with links that open PDF's. Have just learned that we can save these documents to the local machine by clicking on the Save button in the Reader. (imagine that).

Can some one make some recommendations on possible alternatives? Not sure what form they would take, a reader without a save button? Many of the documents are hundreds of pages so a different file format is probably not possible.

Any input would be GREATLY appreciated....
