If you give the presentation file to PowerPoint Viewer 2003 on the
command-line, it would show the slide show and then quit at the end. Does
this not happen for you?

hi chirag,

no, at the end of my slides there I get a black slide
with the message "click leave presentation". therefore
the user had to click to go outside of the presentation!
at my presentation options "end with black slide" is not
clicked and also at the configure option is "presentation
with a speaker" clicked, because there I have the
possibilty, to let the option "loop until escape is
clicked" free. this is not possible at the kiosk mode!
I start the presentation at cd-rom with the powerpoint-
starter from cdmenupro (info at:
http://www.cdmenupro.de/powerpoint_starter.htm - also
english site aviable), because there is a greeting screen
for the users first and they have to click a button to
execute the pptstarter.exe file. Maybe I have to contact
this company, if there is a switch in their program to
end the presentation!?
will try.

thanks for trying to help.

How about an action button or other shape with End Show as its action
setting?

hi steve,

have tried it with a action button with a VBA code, but I
am very bad at VBA. my code does not work right

-------
Sub PR_schliessen()

Application.Presentations("SlideShow_1").Close

End Sub
-------
maybe this is not right!
maybe you can help?

thank you
Gerhard

Try

Application.Quit

(if you want to shut everything down, PPT and all, that is)
