PowerPoint Viewer 2003

[Michael Hamstra]

I am trying to use the Command switches without success. Can anyone provide
any input??

I am trying to perform the following (launch without the Splash Screen)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\PPTVIEW.EXE /S
"my_pres.ppt"

Should this work from the Run command prompt?? I can launch the EXE from the
Run, but anything beyond that does not work....

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\PPTVIEW.EXE

I am actually trying to utilize with Director/Buddy API but cannot get the
above to work yet.....

Thank you in advance! Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Try "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\PPTVIEW.EXE" /S
"my_pres.ppt"

You should be getting a message and should post the exact wording of the
message. It will give you a clue as to what is wrong. I suspect it says
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'" That's because you don't have quotes around
the path. Therefore is sees the blank as a delimiter of the program path.

Thank You Sonia!!!

Now I have to translate to work with Director - But I am a step closer!
