show default Presentation at startup

[Robert Blaauwbroek]

Hi,

We have made a default PowerPoint presentation and we would like PP to
open this ppt file at startup. On top of that, we want to show a
(VBA) userform when opening the presentation.

PowerPoint VBA does not have a Document_Open or Presentation_Open method.

Is there a way to start PP with a choosen presentation? I have tried
creating an AddIn using Auto_Open. That can open a messagebox for
instance but it doesn't seem to open a presentation.

Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub

Shows a "Hello" messagebox while starting PP but

Sub Auto_Open()
Presentations.Open "C:\folder\file.ppt"
End Sub

does not what I would like it to do.

Any suggestions out there on how to accomplish both tasks
- start default presention on opening PP
- loading userform in default presentation???

TIA - Robert
