I get the following error when trying to access a linked
Visio doc from a powerpoint slide.

"The server, source file, or item can't be found, or
returned an unknown error. You may need to resinstall the
server application."

Any ideas? Thanks
 
Check out the following on the microsoft knowledgebase:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328613

If that is not the case check how long the path is; if it is greater than 64
characters try moving a copy of the file to the same directory (folder) as
your PowerPoint file and link to it there.

If all else fails, it is possible to insert visio documents into powerpoint
by first saving them as .WMF files. This article is for word but the same
applies to powerpoint.

See the following for details:
