PPT error dialog box when copying slides

[Fred]

I was trying to copy a group of slides from one
prsentation to another and received this error "There was
an error accessing". When I reduced the group of slides
from 30 to 5 slides it worked. These slides were not
graphic intensive. I'm not sure what caused this? any
ideas?

Using PPT 2002, Windows 2000.

Are you copying from a presentation on a network?

I am on a network, but both files were saved on my local
drive with no links. This issue seems to be related to
these files. I tried to simulate the error again and they
copied ok. They were mailed to me through Outlook, so as
another test I opened them directly from Outlook and did
receive the same error message when I tried to copy a
large group of slides. Could it be a temp file issue, or
are these files having some kind corruption issues, they
were from multiple presentations which I did not create.
This intermittent stuff drives you crazy?

Thanks Troy for the quick response!

Emailing presentations *can* cause corruption. It doesn't occur often, but it
can happen. It can be avoided by "zipping" the files and mailing the zipped
file.
