Webbrowser component

[Thom Moon]

I'm trying to create a custom dialog in powerpoint VBA which will act a
little like the Slide Finder function where a user can scroll through
thumbnails of generic slides, click on one they want, and it's inserted into
their presentation. It seems that webbrowser may do the trick. Am I right
to think this, and do you think I'll be able to develop such a thing with
just VBA?

Many thanks

A webbrowser sounds like horrendous overhead for a task like this. Why not just use
the built-in Image control?

What Karl said.

But you ARE aware of the Insert, Slides, From File gadget already built into
PPT, right?
