I put a command button on my application that hyperlinks to a powerpoint .pps which is housed in a network folder. The problem is it opens the .pps with the powerpoint menus on top. Also, when I close the .pps I'm left with powerpoint open on the screen. When I run the .pps from my desktop it opens full screen and closes completly on exit 9the way i want it to) Why is it behaving differently through the hyperlink?
