Hello, the artomator speaking here.
I am looking to solve a well known problem of template placeholders not mapping to shapes using out of the box VBA. In general I would like a user to be able to "upload" their power point file containing formatted master slides only (basically a blank presentation) to MS Access where the slide configuration for the layouts are stripped out of the master slides. The "uploaded" file would basically just be used as a template to create presentations from and reside in the same project folder as the access app.
Additionally the Access user could manage the power point slide content from a tree view control in access. Since the custom layouts are relatively static, I was thinking a form for each custom slide layout would basically let the user manufacture a standard Power Point from Access where each form control has the ability to map to a slide template shape.
Anyone have ideas or source for a similar project? I will share my solution once I can crack the code. Peace!
