I have a form built into my acess database showing data on a plasma screen
TV. My boss would like to show a powerpoint show that is continously
changing
slides, or on click, however, I don't know how to input the slideshow into
access on a form (I have tried an unbound and bound ole, but evidently I
don't know that much on those methods) I can set the powerpoint to an auto
transition after x number of secs in powerpoint if I have to, but I would
rather do this programmatically as well. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Poke around http://skp.mvps.org a bit. Shyam's got an example of putting a PPT
show on a VB form and as is so usual with his stuff, it's clearly explained and
very easy to use. I gather that there are some differences between Access
forms and VB forms, but with luck they won't cause problems with this.
