I think the file you're after is for the older version of the viewer, which did
expose a limited object model.

The new 2003 viewer doesn't expose itself to automation; can't program it, I'm
afraid.

Start with the VBA Programming section at http://www.pptfaq.com
There are sections on automating PowerPoint from other apps; the code examples
should be easily transferrable to VB.
