From: Vic on 3 Apr 2010 10:55 Hello, I am trying to automate the creation of building the PPT file and I want to hide the process. However, I can't seem to get rid of having to activate the application object which cause a blank PPT screen to flash. The "Unknown Member" seems to be what has to be identified but how?? Following is the code with comments attached to what I've tried. Thank you very much, Vic Set oPwrpnt = CreateObject("Powerpoint.application") ' oPwrpnt.Visible = False <<=== This fails Application (unknown member) : Invalid request. Hiding the application window is not allowed. oPwrpnt.Activate <<== will flash a blank PPT screen 'oPwrpnt.WindowState = ppWindowMinimized <<== Fails if the above is commented out deffilename = App.Path & "\" & main.cboChartSelection & "\MyTemplate.pptxm" 'following statement fails with the error: 'Presentations (unknown member) : Invalid request. The PowerPoint Frame window does not exist. ' if oPwrpnt.Activate is commented out Set OpwrPresent = oPwrpnt.Presentations.Open(deffilename).Slides(1) 'Also the following fails with the same error as above Set OpwrPresent = oPwrpnt.Presentations.Open(deffilename, False).Slides(1)
From: Shyam Pillai on 3 Apr 2010 11:17 The Open method accepts 4 arguments. One of them is - WithWindow, set that to False.

From: Vic on 3 Apr 2010 11:27 Shyamm, I had already tried that but it also fails with "following statement fails with the error: 'Presentations (unknown member) : Invalid request. The PowerPoint Frame window does not exist." if don't have oPwrpnt.Activate included which causes the blank PPT screen to be flashed.
