Link to a Playlist of Presentations

[Dr. Anis Karim]

Is it possible to give on a slide of a presentation, a link to a playlist of
presentations, so that when

the link is clicked, all the presentations in the playlist will be played
automatically in order?

Sincere reply requested.

As I recall, you are developing a project that will run in the PowerPoint
2003 Viewer. I've also observed threads in which you are pursuing VBA
solutions, etc. Are you aware that the Viewer will not run macros, VBA, or
Active X controls? In your questions it might be best to mention that
running in the Viewer is a requirement so that people don't unknowingly
provide solutions that are going to later cause you problems.

Dr. Anis Karim,

I believe the method described in this tutorial
http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpointlinking.htm
would work with the powerpoint viewer and can be tailored to "automatically" start the next presentation in sequence.

Thank you Sonia, I had not read all his prior posts.

That's what I thought. Yet I didn't want Anis to go down a path that
wouldn't work in the long run.

Thanks TAJ for your help. I went through the tutorial and found it
wonderful. But I did not get it right when using Powerpoint Viewer. When I
opened the Viewer and started Show01.ppt, the Viewer did only show
Show01.ppt and not the other 2 linked presentations. What can be the
problem? I'm using WinXP, Powerpoint 2003.
