OLE help

[Newbie]

Hi all,

I have an MS Access database, in which one field in a table is an OLE
object, a powerpoint slide.
Now I need to save this as .ppt file. How do I proceed ?

Please suggest.

Thanks a lot !

The standard way is to use a BoundObjectFrame control on a form to
display the slide. Activate it (e.g. a double-click) so it opens in
PowerPoint. Then save it from there.

There's antiquated code (Access 95/Word 6) at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=132003 which can be altered for
PowerPoint. It would also be worth searching the Microsoft Knowledgebase
and the newsgroup archive at http://groups.google.com for a ready-made
PowerPoint solution.
