new instance of powerpoint.application

[Milo¹ Vukov]

Hi , i am using vb6 to control PowerPoint application.
My problem is that i have a pres1.ppt already open as user(not
programaticaly) and i do
set objPp = new PowerPoint.Application
the objPp don't create new instance of application but merge with
application already open. I need that the aplication is created is in new
instance(in word and excel you can do this).
Anyone have tha same problem or know if this is possible with PP?

Not possible in PowerPoint. It allows only one instance of itself at a time.

Yep. I figure that way it doesn't sneak up on itself and yell: "Boo!" <g>.

And it has only itself to blame when it gets tangled in its own shoelaces and
falls on its face.
