Third party software that can pull slides from a database

[Brendon]

I manage a huge library of slides (>2000) for a pharma company. These slides
get put into hundreds of different presentations - just mixed in different
ways. For compliance reasons, whenever a slide is updated, it needs to be
updated in ALL presentations. I was hoping for a program that can database
each slide as an individual file and "push" these slides out to
presentations. That way, I can update a slide, and it is updated in all
presentations that are linked to the database.

I have tried MANY commercially available software products without any luck.
Most seem to simply house slides on the web, but can't pull individual slides
from a database.

Is there software I am missing? I am a bit skeptical and I believe I need to
have someone design this.....but where would I go? Who would be such a MS
Powerpoint and MS Office guru that they can program within MS code?

Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Brendon,
As Steve says the guys at Intelligentdocuments are smart. Steve and I
both know them.

If that doesn't work for you I could resurrect an Access and
PowerPoint application that my group wrote a few years ago but dropped
since Presentation Librarian came along and no one was funding my
development time.

Hey Brian,

I might be interested. Presentation Librarian was less than exciting when
did a pilot on it. How would I get in touch with you? Do you work for MS?

Hi Brendon,
No I don't work for MS. I own two separate companies that specialize
in coding. You can email me at Brian-at-reillyand-.com
Just remove the hyphens. And label the message PPT and Access or you
might get lost in the 300+ spams I get a day.
