Hi

In Excel we have Auto_Open function to run the macro when
a Excel application is opened.

Like wise is there a way run a macro automatically when a
powerpoint application is opened. If there is code
available then can you please email it to me

Solomon,
The two auto execute VBA procs in PPT are Auto_Open & Auto_Close.
However, quite unlike Word & Excel, these execute automatically only within
an add-in.

Auto_Open: when you load the add-in
Auto_Close: when you unload the add-in

If you are using PowerPoint 2000/2002 you can read the article which
pertains to eventhandling availabling in the programming section of the
PowerPoint FAQ - www.pptfaq.com

If you are using PowerPoint 2000/2002 you can also try my free AutoEvents
Addin The add-in is designed to execute the certain routines automatically
if present in the presentation. You can download and learn more about it
from http://www.mvps.org/skp/download.htm
