I've got an Access application I'm developing to control a Powerpoint
presentation.

I've figured out how to open PPT, select a presentation, and view that
presentation in design view, but have not figured out how to switch the view
to SlideShow.

Assuming I have application (oPPT) and presentation (oPres) objects, what
VBA do I need to change the view of PPT from design view to slideshow view.

Hi dale
Does oPres.SlideShowSettings.Run do it?

John,

Yes, but now the line in my code which selects which slide to display in
the design view (see below) is generating an error.

oPres.Slides(mlngSlideIndex + 1).Select

Runtime error -2147188160 (80048240)
Slide (unknown member): invalid request. This view does not support selection

Which generates several new questions.

1. How do I determine whether the presentation is showing in design or
slide show view?

2.. How do I close the slideshow view?

3. How do I manipulate the slide that is shown in the slideshow?

Replied to this elsewhere.

OK, I figured out that I could create a SlideShowWindow object (oSSW) from
the .Run command. And when this error comes up, I've got an error handler
that uses:

oSSW.view.gotoslide ##

But is there a more elegant way to determine this?

I still have not figured out how to close the SlideShowWindow via code.
