Opening an acrobat file from a powerpoint autoplaying cd

[Guest]

I am having a ton of trouble getting my acrobat file to open from a
powerpoint created cd. it works great on my system when viewing the slide
show on my hard drive but as soon as i pack it for cd (adding the acrobat
file to the cd also) it wont open. I have tried tricking the path so it
looks for the D drive but that isnt working either???

Try this:

Open the presentation you've packaged for CD and use the macro above to see
what the link points to.

Thanks Steve.... I will work with that and see how it goes. I sort of came to
the deduction that the problem lies in the Power Point Viewer packaged on the
CD. I tried ot run the link as a program and received errors messages - like
"power point viewer cannot run programs..." or something to that effect... I
let you know if I am successful or not...
