Hi,

I just built a 110 slide PPT and saved it on C drive.

I go to access and it says it won't open becuase the Dialog
Boxes are not closed.

How can I close Dialog Boxes in a Presnetation I can't open.

Ready to jump from building !

Minimize the windows on your screen until you see a dialog box that is waiting
for a response from you.
 
Which version of PowerPoint do you use? PPT 97/2000? Does PowerPoint start
up with your standard slide layout/new presentation dialog?
 
Shyam,

Thanks for the note. I was on the MS Help line with a
woman last night and we tried many things.... none of them
worked.

I am using XP Pro PP which I installed about a month ago
and all seemed fine. The MS person suggested installing
Service Pack 3 which I did, no help. We turned off all
programs but MS and that didn't work either and I think a
couple of other tricks.... none worked.

Power Point comes up and runs perfectly and opens other
files except this one.

MS said they couldn't help any further so I spent $35 for
nothing.

Not sure where to go now.... this file was 108 slides and I
did save a version with 99 and it comes up, not sure that
matters.

Thanks for all your efforts and if you have some magic, I
would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,

Bill
 
Bill,
Would you be able to send this file to me? I would like to take a look at
it. If you can mail it to 'Shyam At MVPs Dot Org'.
 
Some additional information:
1. Open windows explorer. Double-click (single click) to open a file
containing a macro.
2. Do not enable the macro dialog.
3. Switch back to windows explore and repeat step 1.

You will be prompted with the message you experienced. By any chance are you
clicking a presentation twice in quick succession?
