Open an OLE Object (PowerPoint) for editing

I have embedded OLE's in my subform. Normally, I right click on the field, select 'Presentation Object', and then select 'Open'. This opens up PowerPoint with the OLE object, ready for changes and editing.

I'm familiar with the DoCmd.DoMenuItem code, but in this case it's not working. What I'm using is:

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 14, 3, acMenuVer70

No matter what number I give it for the 'subcommand' element, it always opens up the object in Presentation mode.

I want to click a button and have it open up in PowerPoint so I can edit it and save it back to the database easily.

Any ideas? I found the thread that describes the [object].action = acOLEActivate, but I get the same results.

Thanks in advance,
Onwards,
