Launch second presentation and put it on top

[kevin.ingle]

I'm running a presentation as an e-learning course. The file launches
(as a .pps) from a file server. Once the user gets to the last slide,
there is a button to launch another .pps that is a quiz for the
course. When I run this from inside the PowerPoint interface
everything works fine. However, when I run it from the file server,
once I click on the button I get an error message "Presentations
(unknown member) : Invalid request. The PowerPoint frame window does
not exist."

Here is the code that is executed at the button click event:

Private Sub btnLaunchAssessment_Click()
Presentations.Open ("\\PathOfFile\NameOfFile.pps")
End Sub

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Change the Presentations.Open() code to:

Presentations.Open ("\\PathOfFile\NameOfFile.pps", WithWindow:=False)

Basically, you tell PowerPoint to not create any window for the new
presentation.
