starting powerpoint presentation in Presenter View

C

Chris

I have an access database which creates a powerpoint file based on the data.
It also runs the powerpoint show when done. I would like the powerpoint
slideshow to run in 'Presenter View', but i cant seem to get it to do this
when starting it through code. Any ideas?

I dont have a problem with running the slideshow, but it wont run in
presenter view. It will run on either the primary or secondry monitor
depending what has been set up in powerpoint before had, but even though i
have ticked the box on 'show presenter view' in powerpoint before opening the
file with vba, it still wont show it this way. I have a feeling that it just
isnt possible.

Hi Chris,

I suggest you post your question in a PowerPoint newsgroup, where people
will be more familiar with PowerPoint's little ways.
