I use VB and the exe's I make out of Powerpoint Presentations are only to
allow those who do not have Powerpoint installed on their system the ability
to view the presentation without having to download or install a viewer
(normally, a user without Powerpoint would have to dl and install the free
viewer from MS in order to view the
presentation) Or you would have to use the Pack&Go feature in Powerpoint,
which still requires the user to have to do an install on their system.
What my exe does is automate the whole thing. Still incorporates the viewer
but your presentation becomes one exe file that when clicked automatically
runs the show. Nothing for the user to decide or install. Not pack and go,
but click and play LOL

You should know, however, that the free viewer Microsoft provides is old -
1997 - and there are certain animations and effects in XP and maybe 2K? that
it won't be able to display.

Lock and hide folders with maximum ease and security.
