Cannot Open a .PDF Attachment

Hi.
I received an e-mail with a .pdf attachment and could not open it. It said I needed to create an association in the folder options control panel. I thought .pdf was an Adobe Reader file. I have Adobe 9.0 on the computer now. The folder options shows Adobe 9.0 but I have to admit I don't know how to create an association. Any help would be appreciated.

Save the .pdf to the hdd.
Open Adobe 9.0, File and select open, now browse to and select the file.
Ckick open.

Should take care of it.

Now if it is corrupted, it will show error messages and have who ever resend the file.

Thanks Train!
The file is opened! I hope you were not floating around in the rainwaters of recent days.
