Are these presentations password protected, possibly? That would cause a
failure.

Try opening them manually in PPT to see if you get a password request dialog
box.

If that's not the problem, post some example code here. Most of us use VBA but
there are a few C++ literate people who might be able to spot the problem.

hr= CLSIDFromProgID(L"PowerPoint.Application", &clsid);
if(!app.CreateDispatch(clsid))
{

hr = GetActiveObject(clsid, 0, (IUnknown**)&pUnk);

// Get IDispatch

hr = pUnk-QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **)&app);
pUnk-Release();

}
if(app)
{

hi i am getting strange result ,same code working some time ,failing
most of the time..(2007).
internally getting error result like this
SCODE sc = m_lpDispatch-Invoke(dwDispID, IID_NULL, 0, wFlags,
&dispparams, pvarResult, &excepInfo, &nArgErr);

returning -2147352567
i have doubt
why this call failing only 2007 version.
why this call succeeding some times.
is this installation problem ?
any help really appreciable.

I was hoping someone would be along to answer this; I don't have any
suggestions I'm afraid.
