Play Power Point on secondary monitor

[stealthdevil]

Hi,
I'm using PP2000 and VB.Net 2005.

I have a VB app that opens powerpoint. The slide show that it opens has an
auto open event. In this auto open event data is obtained from an Access DB
and the slides are updated using this data.

There is a TV connected to the pc that can be used like a dual monitor. I
can set the slide show to play on the secondary monitor, but when the screen
on the pc is clicked the slide show loses focus and stops playing.

I've downloaded the trial version of PowerShow. I can put the settings in to
skip the 1st monitor and play the slide show on the second. then I start the
show and it works. I can save the settings the the powershow and I see the
file where the settings are saved.

What I want to do is pass these settings in the auto open event, so that the
slide show automatically shows on the secondary monitor when it is opened. It
is not an option for me to manually set the powershow settings every time the
show is started as the show is started/stopped every 30 minutes to update the
slides.

How might I go about accomplishing this?

Thanks,
Dave
