In some cases I have a second ppt show on top of a previous one. I tried to
write a macro to put in the second show so that I could close that show
without closing the first show:

Sub closewindow()
Active.Window.Close
End Sub

Nothing happers. What's wrong?

Thanks,

Vic

Try taking the period out between Active and Window:

ActiveWindow.Close

Thanks for pointing out the period. Actually, I found that the proper
command is ActivePresentation.Close.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, ActivePresentation.Close is probably what you want. They both work in
different ways and different circumstances. When you have a problem like
this, you might try going to the Debug menu and choosing Compile VBA
Project. It will pop up error messages on some lines like this. On rare
occasions, the error messages are actually useful.
