Opening popup in IE - "Member not found"

Question

This happens in IE6 when the user opens a popup that opens the PDF inside. (this part works).

Then the user opens another popup, and at that moment I get this error.

There is a good description and a possible solution here

my question is this:

Is there a better solution? Opening a window and closing it immediately seems to me a stupid decision.
