Running a Powerpoint File from Form.

[Dwayno]

We have created a number of Training modules using Power Point. I would like to run the modules by creating a command button and assigning a ppt file to each button. Can any one help me with the switches I need to not only open Power Point but run either a ppt or pps file.

Thanks

Hey there,

im not sure if this will help you but this is how i did what you are trying to do but using word. i believe i got most of the code straight from one the command button wizard

Dim oApp As Object
Dim path As String

path = THE DOCUMENT (PPT) YOU WANT TO OPEN

Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
oApp.Documents.Open path
