Opening a PPS with a macro

I'd appreciate some help creating a macro to open a seperate PPS from a PPS
that is already running. I'm not sure that this is possible. I am able to
create a macro that works while the PowerPoint application is running however
if I launch the PPS without the PowerPoint application running minimized the
macro doesn't work. I think this has something to do with the behavior of
the Presentations object.

Thanks.

Post the code if you can. Otherwise we're just guessing.

Here's what I came up with so far. Like I was saying, it works if the
PowerPoint application is running in the background (then you launch the show
from Explorer) but not if you close the application then launch the show from
Explorer.

Presentations.Open ("2.pps")
With Application.Presentations("1.pps")
.Saved = True
.Close
End With

Both of the files are in the same folder.

Thanks.
