Roger - thanks for looking at it for me. We just tested it on a machine here
at work and, even though the Acrobat program had been updated, the EULA
hadn't been accepted by the admin. IE crashed. We went in as Admin and
accepted the EULA - IE stopped crashing. What gets me is that there is
nothing on that page that should call the Acrobat program. No PDFs or
anything that Acrobat should be reading... I'm going to be doing some
research on the Adobe site today to see if this is a known issue. Thanks for
your help guys!!
