Suppressing warning dialogs.

[johnemmatty]

Hello All,
Is there any way to smother the warning box that is usually popped up
while we click a hyperlink which points to a ppa function or exe.

I have used Application.DisplayAlerts = ppAlertsNone but it was
useless.

Regards and thanks,
Johm

And in 2000 and XP?



Thanx,

Do you get the warning dialog in 2000 or XP? By the way, if you
want an answer for a specific version of Powerpoint, then you
should specify the version in your question.

Check out the following little program from one of our MVPs that disables
and enables it for you:
