How to get started with Powerpoint object model?

[Richard Lewis Haggard]

I need to learn how use the PowerPoint object model. Would some of you more
knowledgeable types make some suggestions on books, learning groups, good
web sites, etc?

Here's the problem I'm trying to solve- A university wants to put a lot of
graphics information into a database. They want to use Access to make a VBA
application that will assist the production of PowerPoint presentations of
this graphics information.
