Michael,
>I have been searching and have found no reference that helps me.
Follow this route for the Reference:
MSDN Library
Office Developer Documentation
Office 2000 Documentation
Microsoft Office 2000 Language Reference
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Reference
Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic Reference
Microsoft PowerPoint Objects
Now, look at the list of objects and explore things like DocumentWindows and Presentation. You're probably just missing a line or two in your code to open a new window, start a new presentation, or something like that.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
