Thank you Dwight. An update to the DWM commercial database and the Navy list almost together. I will have my nose on the screen for quite a while :-)

I don't know if it's just my computer but I can't open the file. I get prompted to download Adobe Reader, which I already have.

sdmark777 · 09-02-2021, 12:19 AM

I had the same issue as MFC. I played around and opened Adobe reader first, then the downloaded file after I closed the prompt to download Adobe Reader. And then I could see the data. Hope that helps MFC. Maybe Dwight can repost a different way so we don't get the prompt to download Adobe Reader.

Thanks Mark,
I tried and I still get the Adobe prompt when I opened the file, even after I opened Adobe first.
I even tried opening the file with Adobe opened and my browser closed, no luck.

Maybe Dwight can help, or repost file a different way.........

MFC · 09-02-2021, 12:57 AM

I hope so. I can't wait to dig in.

The Adobe window is just an advertisement link to update with.

The actual PDF's are in the menu section to the left of the screen labeled Alphabet Commercial, Key, New Model-P08, Old Model and Postwar Carbine pdf.

They are outlined in yellow in the image below ... just click on the section you wish to view.

Save the file to your computer. Open it there.

It doesn't work for me either....

Mac Cat · 09-02-2021, 07:08 PM

I didn't have any problem.
It downloaded to my computer and popped up as an Acrobat document.

Thank You, Dwight !

I'm sorry but .pdf is the only practical way to distribute a file like this, and, indeed, is the only filetype the Forum will accept as an upload. I have tested the download several times and do not have any of the reported problems, so I'm afraid I have no way to help troubleshoot.

Are any of you with problems able to open other .pdfs?

My computer automatically sent the whole file to 'recently downloaded' when I clicked on the link, so it didn't have the files on the left of my screen like Spangy.
I have a new computer with a new version of Windows which apparently tried to open the file with some other 'Windows reader'. I finally opened the file by clicking on 'open with' and then 'Adobe' in the drop down box...Voila'

Thank you all for the help, and thank you Dwight for the database.
