>I need help in creating a power point slide using vfp. I need to add title, text (bulletted), table with data (coming from sql).

Fairly simple to do using COM Automation. The data features are standard 2 or 3-Tier stuff, not related to Automation. Once you have the data in VFP (via CursorAdapter, or Remote Views, or any other OleDB or ODBC method), you place it through Automnation in the proper Powerpoint Control.

For a simple (old but useful) example, see:

I also recommend "Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro" published by Hentzenwerke
