Displaying A User Form With A Macro When User Opens Powerpoint

[Olan]

Hi,
I have to make some office templates which will capture Custom Document
Properties.
I have made some in Xcel & word no problem which basically display a
UserForm when the User chooses to open a word file based on that particular
template.
This is done by a piece of VB code to show the user form - this code is
placed in the Microsoft Word Objects area of the VB editor but there does
not seem to be an equivalent in Powerpoint ie I can insert the UserForm but
I can not seem to place code in the template to display it when the User
chooses to create a ppt document based on the template.
Can anyone help me - is what I am trying to do possible?? I hope its clear
what I am talking about!!
Thanks in advance, Olan

Olan,
Create an eventhandler add-in of your own to trap events or use this free
one to fire up the macro.
Auto Events http://www.mvps.org/skp/autoevents.htm

Hey Shyam,

Thanks for your reply.

I did that but becasue i am putting this in a template i need an event of

"Document_New" or "Auto_New" rather than "Autpen" or "Auto_Close".

I have tried this but it doesnt seem to work.

It works if I save it as a document but when i save it as a template and
open a new ppt doc basing it on the template it does nothing, am I missing
something?

thanks in advance, Olan

OK so I make an add on that displays a UserForm when the User opens up a ppt
doc and make it an add in.
Then you've got to load it every time in order to display this UserForm?
thanks for your help, Olan

Thanks, Steve

No; once the addin's loaded, it'll load again whenever PPT starts up until you
manually unload it.

So the sequence of events is something like:

PowerPoint starts
Add-in loads

The addin includes Shyam's event code and the code you've written to handle the
events. For example, in response to the event triggered when a PPT is opened,
you could display your user form.

User opens a new file
That triggers an event
Event handling code calls your user form

and so on
