Powerpoint Automation

[jwilliam]

I have a vba procedure within a ppt presentation that creates a new
presentation with a set of slides and saves it. This process is
repeated until about 30 different presentations are created, but I
would like to automatically execute it at a specific time so I don't
have to run the code manually everyday.

Can you please suggest how I can automically execute my vba code to
run?

This topic is pretty urgent, so a quick response is VERY much
appreciated.

thanks,
Jenise

Hi Jenise,

You might consider using our PowerPoint Automation Toolkit

Hello,

I'm not really in the position to buy a product at the moment. I'm
really looking into some direction on how I can produce this action
myself. I've already got the VBA code, I just need a way to trigger my
code to run automatically so I don't have to push the button myself
every morning.

thanks,
Jenise

Why not use the task scheduler to fire it off at a set time?

Hi Austin,

I can have the task scheduler point to the powerpoint presentation I've
created, but how do I get the vba code to automatically run after it
has been opened.

thanks,

I'm trying to get the Add In to work but am having some problems. I
created the Add-in, but I only want it to work for those presentation
and not for every presentation I work with. I also only want it to run
once. Once my macro runs and saves the presentations on the drive, I
open those saved files and the macro re-runs itself again.

Has anyone else had this issue and how did they resolve it?

thanks,

Jenise
