I am writing a report which needs a Powerpoint presentation to be displayed therein.

I am trying to use a text field in the report's source table as a reference to the external presentation. I want the OleUnbound frame to load a new powerpoint presentation for each detail record.

My properties page for the unbound frame is here


My code in the report is this

With OLEUnbound1
.Class = "PowerPoint.Show.8"
.OLETypeAllowed = acOLELinked
.SourceDoc = "* omitted **"
.Action = acOLECreateLink
End With

And I keep receiving this error "Can't perform the operation specified"

I can't find anything on the error in either google or MSDN. Also, since all of the examples i find in the documentation use EXCEL sheets in this manner, I tried it with excel and I got the same error.

Also, I see in much of the documentation that this could be related to .Enabled and .Locked properties... but in Access 2k3, the OleUnbound frames do not seem to have these properties.

Help?
