I'm fairly certain that PowerPoint's object model does not permit
passing the password like Excel does. Shyam has commented on this in
the past so you might google on Shyam and Password and PowerPoint to
confirm that.
Or he'll pop in here and confirm it. Shyam, you listening today?

Yes, Brian. I'm listening : )
I did reply to his other posting may be he has not seen my reply yet.
