Hi!

I have written a VBA macro in my Powerpoint file. I want to be able to have
Excel (or a Visual Basic standalone program) to load Powerpoint and
automatically run this macro. Does anyone know if this is doable? I tried
recording my keystrokes into an Excel macro, but the farthest I was able to
get was to activate Powerpoint.

Thanks for your help.

In XL, you can create a PPT Application object using:

Dim oPPTApp
Set oPPTApp = Application.CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")

/i.
