I need to regularly export Access reports to PowerPoint for distribution (not
sensible, but that is the way the boss wants it!) Right now, I export to
RTF, fancy it up a bit, run a macro to put it into a table, then copy into
PowerPoint as a picture.

Is there a way that this can be done without going thru RTF? I could get
away without the "fancying".

These might give you most of what you need to do the job directly from PPT.
