Is this stack doing more than launching the document? Does it control
the advancing of the slides and/or get feedback from Powerpoint?
The example you used is for Windows. Does it also work on the Mac?

Hi John,
I just built a stack to try what you are doing.
I also downloaded and installed MS Powerpoint Viewer.
I put a field on the stack with the name "Filename".
In a button, I used the following script to open the powerpoint file
using the viewer.
on mouseUp
if fld "Filename" is not empty then
put fld "Filename" into thePPS
launch thePPS with "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint
Viewer\pptview.exe"
else
answer "no file selected"
end if
end mouseUp
In the field I typed: "C:\temp\MyPresentation.pps".
This file I created in MS Powerpoint, saving it as a "pps" file type.
It launched the power point. I ran the slide show.
It quit and the focus returned to where I launched it, the RunRev
application.
Where ever you launch the slide show from, the focus should return to
its originating place.
Unless of course, the user goes to another opened application. Then
the
focus may not return.
HTH you,
Mark Stuart
