    thanks Combo .. I believe I have tried your suggestion - thanks for that. For example - In Powerpoint 2010 - I go Insert --> Object --> From File ... select the EX4 file and it embeds fine. I have done the same thing with a ZIP file containing the EX4 file. Problem is, the .EX4 file appears...

    Embed .EX4 / .EXE to Powerpoint Presentation

    Hello Everyone .. I was wondering whether there was a way to embed a file (.EX4) into a Powerpoint presentation - Mainly to transport it with the rest of a package so that users can use it while going through the presentation.

    Order by date desc in Varchar Column
