Cristy,
    I don't have Powerpoint installed.  If you send it to me. I wouldn't be 
able to view it.           :OD

    I'm just glad you worked it out.  It's what I was saying in at least one 
of my relies, but I was talking about the path statements that needed to be 
changed and not the file's original location.  By changing the path 
statements inside the presentation's coding, it would stop looking elsewhere 
for those files.  The solution, since you couldn't get at the coding, was to 
recreate the presentation with those files already in the same folder. 
Doing that changed the coding in the same way I was trying to describe in 
that previous reply.  Now, as long as the support files reside in the folder 
when you create the presentation, it will look in that same folder for the 
files it needs, instead of looking around in your Internet Temp folder.  I 
hope that all made some sense to you.       lol

Peace,
G
