Linda,
I have the same problem.  I have to open the Adobe 8.1.2 and then download the forms.  We are solving the problem by ordering Adobe 9 Professional. - Kay

Hi All, I have the correct version of Adobe Reader (8.1.2) to download
applications from Grants.gov.  My problem is that I also have Adobe
Acrobat 7.0 Professional on my computer.  When I try to open a package
from grants.gov it automatically finds the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 instead of
Adobe Reader 8.1.2.  How can I get my grants.gov package to open in
Reader 8.1.2 instead of Acrobat 7.0?  Thanks, LB
