VBA driven method for saving images

[Bill]

I'd like to create a database driven application that
will create jpg images derived from an image control
with text boxes overlaid and brought forward with
transparent backgrounds. (Like one would envision
during the making of slide presentations where words
are superimposed atop a fixed background.)

Does there exist a VBA driven method that would
provide such functionality?

It would seem that this problem is best approached
from within PowerPoint, though even that isn't entirely
clear. Below is my post to the PowerPoint newsgroup,
if that information strikes of some ideas on the VBA
side of Office here.

=======================================
I would like to create an powerpoint application
that is database driven. Like have a template that
has a picture as the background and a single text
box that I load from within VBA code. The code
would prompt the user for a song title. The VBA code
then obtains song lyrics from within an Access mdb
file to populate each slides text box in sequence. The
result to be a pps file containing slides with a constant
background with song lyrics.

Is there any support within PowerPoint for such automation?
I do see the option to use a Visual Basic Editor, but it's not
clear that the language elements that would be required to
carry out the tasks I've described above would be available.

I don't know of any support for powerpoint slide objects
from within Access VBA such that the process could
be driven from within Access.

Any direction here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
