Prevent opening a PPS in edit mode

K

Hi all,

I've looked through some of the 'PPS password protection' threads but I'm
looking for something a little different...

My project at the moment involves a PPS main menu linking to several PPS
presentations that I can easily password protect.

The problem is that each of the linked PPS files contain content that the
user can edit i.e. TextBox(ActiveX) controls. Thus password protecting them
prevents any changes made in the linked PPS being saved.

So my question I guess is...

How do I allow the user to edit the PPS file if it has been opened from the
main menu PPS, then on closing it save the changes. While at the same time,
prevent the user from editing the same PPS if it's opened in edit mode?

Many thanks,
Michael
