I want to open a power point file with the following code but it's always
giving me an error on the last line. Somebody knows?

Sub openppt()

Dim Brocoli As Object
Dim Potato As Object
Dim carot As String

carot = "C:\random folder\open me.ppt"

Set Brocoli = CreateObject("powerpoint.Application")
Brocoli.Visible = True

Set Potato = Brocoli.documents.Open(Filename:=carot)

End Sub
 
The PowerPoint object model doesn't have a Documents object. Did
you just make it up? Try

Set Potato = Brocoli.Presentations.Open(filename:=carot)

Yes I made it up, it works perfectly when you replace "document" by
"presentations"
Thanks!!!
