I have an Access application which allows the user
to build tables containing path/file names for PowerPoint
presentations, assign that data to buttons on the form,
and then use PowerPoint as an automation server to present
slide shows. This is all on a laptop running Windows XP,
configured for dual monitors, with a projector connected
to the external video port. What I would like to do is to
have the Access form on the laptop screen for the
instructor to use, but show the PowerPoint slide show on
the second monitor (the projector). This all has to be
automatic and transparent because the users are.... well,
users. Any suggestions?
