I don't use Outlook so I can't say if this is possible, but do you have a Save
As rather than Save command? It almost seems as if the "E:" has somehow become
part of the filename Outlook thinks the file should have. Filenames may not
include a colon ) character so PPT won't be able to open it.

Can you save the file to a different name?
