Open Powerpoint show with command button

[JMal]

Hi,

I am using the following code to "TRY" to open a powerpoint application form a command button in my form.

----------------------------------------------------------
Dim x As Variant

x = Shell("Explorer.exe /n,/e,C:\Program Files\Folder20\Powerpoint Shows\47.pps", vbMaximizedFocus)
----------------------------------------------------------

When I run the above code the powerpoint show opens in windows explorer. Can anyone tell me how to change the above code to get my powerpoint show to open full screen without the "Windows Explorer" part.

Im not too hot with VBA.

Replace "explorer.exe" with the filepath to powerpoint.exe

I think you'll also need to remove the two command line switches "/n" and "/e".

I don;t have Powerpoint installed on this PC, so I am unable to test this but it should work.

Please do not feed the trolls.....

Look up FollowHyperlink in help. I prefer it over Shell.
