By inserting an OLE object into a bound field on a form I can run a Powerpoint show directly from Access. What I can't figure out is how to print the complete show from a control in Access and, preferably without showing the MSPowerpoint start up screen first. i.e. all that happens is a single click on a button that produces the printed show at the printer.

I've done this sort of thing with Word. See CreateApplication in the Help file to create an instance of Powerpoint and use VBA to print the Powerpoint file.
