‘Have you had a look’ or ‘Did you have a look?’

Two weeks ago, New Zealand-based Forum member Spelling — he used to post challenging English grammar questions in the Forum every now and then but had since lain low for almost two years now — surprised me with one more such puzzler: “Can you please help me with this? At the start of the weekend I ask someone to have a look at some documents over the weekend. What do I ask that person on Monday morning: ‘Have you had a look at the documents?’ or ‘Did you have a look at the documents?’”

Pleasantly surprised to hear from him (I must admit I’ve never figured out if he is a Filipino or a foreign national), I reminded him that it’s been such a long time since he asked for an explanation for the semantic difference between “Come here” and “Come to me,” and I expressed the hope that everything’s well with him in New Zealand despite the worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
