	good afternoon, I'll be your host for this episode of oops theatre. I just converted a Q&A database and spent hours making it look all pretty and useful when I realized I forgot to take out the numbers beforehand and now I have a series of about 8 digits after the decimal... I've gotten help fixing this before but I can not seem to find the article about doing it. can anybody help or should I restart the database??

	Downloading the PDF version of "Setting A Custom Number Format" One Sheet gives an error. Downloading in HTML works OK. Also the PDF version of "Setting A Custom Date Format" One Sheet downloads fine into the reader. I am using Adobe Reader 6.0 Is there a bug?

	I confirmed problem with downloading the PDF version. Clicking on PDF ends up at URL http://www.lantica.com/. ; But this is not an Acrobat problem. I checked the Source Code for the page. The link needs to be changed from /Files/OneSheet_CustomNumber.pdf to /Files/OneSheet_CustomNumberFormat.pdf Manually typing in the correct name, or linking here: http://www.lantica.com/Files/OneSheet_CustomNumberFormat.pdf does provide the PDF file until that link is corrected.
