How do i launch a power point slide show?

[Garry Smith]

i have a database and i want to be able to luanch at the click of a button
into a powerpoint slide show i have tried the following code:
Private Sub Command12_Click()
Shell """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Powerpnt.exe"" " & _
"""H:\Test.pps""", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

but that loads powerpoint as a whole then the file whereas i want it to load
straight into a running slide show (An xxxx.PPS File) that is not currently
open ?
