Powerpoint in AMS5?

[David Delaney]

In AMS3, I used to have a way of viewing powerpoint which worked really well. I would run the 'projector' and in AMS3. there is an argument function that let me pick the Powerpoint file to run in the projector! It worked great, but now working with AMS5, I don't see how to do it - has anyone figure this out? Thanks

And yes, I have looked through the FAQ on this subject and I cannot seem to get it to work - my working folder is the DOC folders, it is where I have all of my pptviewer files, the viewers and my PPT that I want to see. I get this error when trying to run it.

ON CLICK LINE 1 : ATTEMPT TO INDEX GLOBAL 'THEACCOUNT.PPT' (A NIL VALUE)

If anyone could help, much appreciated.

Finally got it to work : here is the script for those using the PPT view97 :

File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\PPVIEW32.EXE", "/n1 \"".._SourceFolder.."\\Autoplay\\Docs\\nameoffile. ppt\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);

I had to download the file that was in the forum. It was the only thing that worked.
