Open presentation in slideshow view, from Access via VBA

I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint presentation. I've figured out how to open PPT, select a presentation, and view that presentation in design view, but have not figured out how to switch the view to SlideShow. Assuming I have application (oPPT) and presentation (oPres) objects, what VBA do I need to change the view of PPT from design view to slideshow view. ---- Dale

Hi dale Does oPres.SlideShowSettings.Run do it? -- john ATSIGN PPTAlchemy.co.uk Free PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoint_hints_and_tips_tutorials.html "Dale Fye" wrote: > I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint > presentation. > > I've figured out how to open PPT, select a presentation, and view that > presentation in design view, but have not figured out how to switch the view > to SlideShow. > > Assuming I have application (oPPT) and presentation (oPres) objects, what > VBA do I need to change the view of PPT from design view to slideshow view. > > ---- > Dale >

John, Yes, but now the line in my code which selects which slide to display in the design view (see below) is generating an error. oPres.Slides(mlngSlideIndex + 1).Select Runtime error -2147188160 (80048240) Slide (unknown member): invalid request. This view does not support selection Which generates several new questions. 1. How do I determine whether the presentation is showing in design or slide show view? 2.. How do I close the slideshow view? 3. How do I manipulate the slide that is shown in the slideshow? ---- Dale "John Wilson" wrote: > Hi dale > Does oPres.SlideShowSettings.Run do it? > -- > john ATSIGN PPTAlchemy.co.uk > > Free PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials > http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoint_hints_and_tips_tutorials.html > > > > > > > "Dale Fye" wrote: > > > I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint > > presentation. > > > > I've figured out how to open PPT, select a presentation, and view that > > presentation in design view, but have not figured out how to switch the view > > to SlideShow. > > > > Assuming I have application (oPPT) and presentation (oPres) objects, what > > VBA do I need to change the view of PPT from design view to slideshow view. > > > > ---- > > Dale > >

OK, I figured out that I could create a SlideShowWindow object (oSSW) from the .Run command. And when this error comes up, I've got an error handler that uses: oSSW.view.gotoslide ## But is there a more elegant way to determine this? I still have not figured out how to close the SlideShowWindow via code. ---- Dale "Dale Fye" wrote: > John, > > Yes, but now the line in my code which selects which slide to display in > the design view (see below) is generating an error. > > oPres.Slides(mlngSlideIndex + 1).Select > > Runtime error -2147188160 (80048240) > Slide (unknown member): invalid request.
