I have slides with images annotated with text that were created in
Powerpoint . I would like to add these slides into an Access report
programmatically using Access VBA.
In the past we manually copied the grouped shapes in the slide and
pasted them into an OLEbound control. The OLE pics were stored in the
database. The Access database is replicated across a WAN with about 40
people adding images/slides/pdfs to projects in the database so we have
decided to store the file paths in the database and the actual files on
a server. When a report is generated, the files need to be inserted in
a report with other data from the database.
I have tried turning the slides into .png files to insert into an image
control but the text becomes illegible even when increasing the size of
the slide five fold. If someone knows how to make snapshot files from
powerpoint, I'd like to integrate that capability with Lebans's
ReportToPDF utility by combining the report snapshot with the
Powerpoint snapshot before making the PDF.
Can one programmatically open a powerpoint file, copy the grouped
shapes, and paste the wmf into an OLEbound control during report
generation?
