Quit powerpoint instance without saving

[Silvester]

Hi,

I use VBA automation from my Access 2000 forms to control Powerpoint.

How can I code a "Close" button on my form to absolutely close any open
instance of Powerpoint without saving.

Normally PP will ask if open slideshows should be saved before closing. I
would like to avoid this and just have PP close down.

From within PowerPoint, you can do

Application.Quit

and it won't ask you to save, or you can do

ActivePresenation.Saved = True

and it will think that nothing has changed since the last save. I don't
program between applications so I'm not sure of what you need to do from
Access, but that should get you pointed in the right direction.
