Qry Resolved:setting password to a powerpoint file using Visual basic

hi there
i m facing a prblm while setting password to a powerpoint file from my visual
basic appln.

Through my vb application i create an object of ms powerpoint.
using this object i open a required powerpoint file
then using the password property i assign password to that
powerpoint file and save tht file
but when i open tht file it does not ask me for the password that i
had set from my vb application
The code that i m using is as follows:

Dim oPPTApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim oPPTPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim sPresentationFile As String

sPresentationFile = strSource

' Get a reference to PowerPoint app
Set oPPTApp = New PowerPoint.Application
' MUST set it visible or you get errors
oPPTApp.Visible = True
' minimize if you want to hide it:
oPPTApp.WindowState = ppWindowMinimized

' Open our source PPT file, get a reference to it
Set oPPTPres = oPPTApp.Presentations.Open(sPresentationFile)
'oPPTApp.ActivePresentation.Password = Trim(txtPassword)
' oPPTPres.Application.ActivePresentation.Password = Trim(txtPassword)
'oPPTPres.Password = Trim(txtPassword)
oPPTApp.Presentations.Application.ActivePresentation.Password = Trim(txtPassword)

' Cleanup
' Close the presentation
oPPTPres.Close
' Quit PPT
oPPTApp.Quit
' Release variables
Set oPPTPres = Nothing
Set oPPTApp = Nothing

please send me some piece of code that will associate the password i pass
from my vb application to the powerpoint file

thanks and regds

I think you need to save it after you assign a password. I can't be sure if this is where you read or try to save. I assume that it is where you try to save it (but don't)

Glad to help. I struggled all day with nobody helping, and it would have solved a lot of grief had someone suggested the solution.
