How about automating it.

oPowerPoint = GetObject('c:\presentation4.ppt','PowerPoint.Application')
oPres.application.ActiveWindow.Activate
oPowerPoint.Visible=.t.
oPres.application.ActiveWindow.View.GoToSlide(2)
oPres.application.ActiveWindow.View.GoToSlide(1)





>I am attempting to play a PowerPoint presentation inside a VFP6/VFP7 form. I found the "PowerPoint Presentation Control" (PowerPoint.Show.8) and placed it on the form, but I am at a loss as how to specify the source file and "play" the presentation. In design mode, it looks like I get a full blown mini-powerpoint window to create a presentation from scratch, but what I really want to do is play an existing presentation.
