Powerpoint Automation

[MoonLiver]

I would like to write some vba that allows the importation of a
graphic from the web on the load of a slide or the load of the
powerpoint document. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do
this?

I understand how code access or AD profiles could have an impact on
these so feel free to elaborate about those technologies.

Thanks
ML

The code here will bring a picture into PPT.
Substitute the picture's URL in place of the filename in the example:

To make it work automatically when a slide loads, you'll need to write an event
handler.

Generally, you'll need to do this in an add-in, though with a little trickery
you can probably get it to work during a slide show.
