PowerPoint Close Automation
I am Currently facing an issue.
I have a PowerPoint presentation that i need to close if the user has been inactive for 5 mins in example.
I know I can use the Kiosk mode but the Kiosk mode will only show the 1st page of the presentation if idle for more than 5 mins I need the presentation to close completely, is there a code to do that? even if its an addin?
this is really urgent

Re: PowerPoint Close Automation
you want to close powerpoint?
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

yes , eventually I want the code to run while in a slide show mode (ppsm)
basically the idea is the following
There will be a flash application running on a touch screen, and there are multiple options , if you select one of them the ppsm or pps file related to that option will be loaded
sometimes a user might step away from the screen leaving the presentation open , I want to close the show if the slide have not moved in 5 minutes to go back to the main flash screen
Hope its not confusing

Re: PowerPoint Close Automation
Powerpoint doesn't have autorun VBA. You would need to develop an addin or external application to monitor and close on idle.
