Open presentation in slideshow view, from Access via VBA
I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint
presentation. I've figured out how to open PPT, select a presentation, and view that presentation in design view, but have not figured out how to switch the view to SlideShow. Assuming I have application (oPPT) and presentation (oPres) objects, what VBA do I need to change the view of PPT from design view to slideshow view. ---- Dale

Hi dale
Does oPres.SlideShowSettings.Run do it? -- john ATSIGN PPTAlchemy.co.uk Free PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoi...tutorials.html "Dale Fye" wrote: I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint presentation.

Open presentation in slideshow view, from Access via VBA
John,
Yes, but now the line in my code which selects which slide to display in the design view (see below) is generating an error. oPres.Slides(mlngSlideIndex + 1).Select Runtime error -2147188160 (80048240) Slide (unknown member): invalid request. This view does not support selection Which generates several new questions. 1. How do I determine whether the presentation is showing in design or slide show view? 2.. How do I close the slideshow view? 3. How do I manipulate the slide that is shown in the slideshow? ---- Dale "John Wilson" wrote: Hi dale Does oPres.SlideShowSettings.Run do it? -- john ATSIGN PPTAlchemy.co.uk Free PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoi...tutorials.html "Dale Fye" wrote: I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint presentation.

Open presentation in slideshow view, from Access via VBA
OK, I figured out that I could create a SlideShowWindow object (oSSW) from
the .Run command. And when this error comes up, I've got an error handler that uses: oSSW.view.gotoslide ## But is there a more elegant way to determine this? I still have not figured out how to close the SlideShowWindow via code. ---- Dale "Dale Fye" wrote: John, Yes, but now the line in my code which selects which slide to display in the design view (see below) is generating an error. oPres.Slides(mlngSlideIndex + 1).Select Runtime error -2147188160 (80048240) Slide (unknown member): invalid request.
