Update link - automatically.

[Mark]

Hi All,

Using PP 2007 and data from an excel file. Is there a way to get it to
automatically update the links once the excel file is updated? I have read
some post on here and most have linked to a company that does do this,
however it cost money and in the day and time our budget is 0. Is there
another way, maybe with code or something once it reaches the end of the
presentation?

Yes, you could write some code to do it. In fact someone has done most of
it for you. http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00922.htm

People, I have had the exact same problem. No offense to the Micosoft Office
Experts, but it seems you guys are not catching what the users are asking.
I'm unsure if it is that the users do not know how to explain themselves
properly or maybe because you guys do not understand the situation or
frustration of the users.

I know what it feels like because I have experienced it first-hand this week
(13 July 2009 to 16 July 2009).

Between myself and my collegue, we have done extensive research on this
issue and have found a workable and quite friendly solution to the problem.

The problem is this; When you have a "Display" machine like a "Kiosk" in the
staff canteen. You would like to have a PowerPoint presentation running there
24/7. The problem is to update this presentation without touching the
"Dispaly" PC. PowerPoint does not allow a smooth update to the presentation
without user intervention. The Presentation should work FOR YOU, and YOU FOR
the presentation.

Guys, if you would like to know the solution, please, e-mail me on
(e-mail address removed), I will gladly help you to solve this problem!
