How to close powerpoint from Bat.

[Agust Audunsson]

Hi,

I am using ppt file to show some production numbers and stuff on a tv
in our company. Every day I have to go and get a new verion of the
ppt file and copy it to a computer and run it from there.
What I want to do is to schedule a bat file to this once a day, but
how can I close the ppt show that is running before I copy the new
file to the computer?

Regards guzti.

Agust,
If I read your situation I would suggest to go have a look at
www.take-off.as
With that you can fully automate your production numbers; don't stop the
presentation, update every second if needed and so on.
Also there is a free tool coming out in a few weeks to send a presentation
to a monitor which will start the presentation automatically. If you want to
test that tool already then please contact me by email (remove the word
NOSPAM from the address).

Regards,
Kurt
