open desktop PowerPoint file

Hi all,

i'm trying to open a PP template (which is on the desktop), but i can't get it to work:

i think it's obvious that i just started to mess with Excel-to-PP vba


PS: question also posted over OzGrid (no answer).

tbh i looked first for "open desktop file" :D

i googled and found that people suggest http://peltiertech.com/Excel/XL_PPT.html , i'll take a look and come back if i still can't get it to work!

cheers

I liked the gentle "kind of important" parts :D

Thanks again, works like a charm.

I was wondering though; is it possible to do stuff on PP without selecting/activating it, like in Excel? Or is there at least some sort of " Application.ScreenUpdating = False " command to speed up the code?
