Thanks very much. Is there any way to get PP to start silently & prevent the
Powerpoint splash screen from starting up when we run the code

' Start Powerpoint and open an existing presentation.
holder = Shell("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Powerpnt.exe")

for "automation powerpoint"

That should turn up examples.
