    Resolved 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
