VB Code:
  1. Dim ppt As New PowerPoint.Application
  2.  
  3. strFileName = strDrive & "dwptrails\Powerpoint Slides\" & ppt_id  & "_MoreInfo.pps"
  4.  
  5. ppt.Visible = True
  6. ppt.Presentations.Open strFileName
  7.  
  8. ppt.ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings.Run
  9.  
  10. Set ppt = Nothing

The above code works fine when using Powerpoint 2003. By fine, I mean that the slideshow comes forward to the front while the vb application remains in the background. But when using Powerpoint 2002, the slideshow somehow remains in the background (still working) while the vb application remains in front. Is there a way to force the slideshow to come forward to the front when using Powerpoint 2002? Of course, an easy way out would be a purchase of the 2003 version. But other than this, am I missing a code or something?
