[Paulers]

I am trying to display a powerpoint pres from my application. I have
looked in my com objects section on the vs.net toolbar and I do not see
anyting resembling it. Can I download it somewhere?

Hi Alvin,

thanks for replying. I tried to add it but I can't seem to locate it
anythere. I even did a search for powerpoint.dll and it returned
nothing. I have officeXP installed which includes powerpoint. am I
missing something?

it should be the Microsoft PowerPoint 10.0 Object Library that you need 2.8
is old. When you add this reference, Visual Basic .NET infers from the
PowerPoint object library that you also need references added to the
Microsoft Office 10.0 Object Library (msppt.olb), OLE Automation
(stdole2.tlb), and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3
(VBE6EXT.OLB).

Hi Alvin,

I looked everywhere under the com listing and I do not see the word
"Powerpoint" anywhere. under the COM Components tab of add/remove
items. Do I need something else installed for it to show up?

Did you install VS studio 05 by any chance? I am certain I used to have this
dll, but I can't find it either on this machine. I'll look around some more
to see what I can come up with and let you know.

You should try posting this in the powerpoint newsgroup. I didn't have any
luck finding more info about it.

Paulers, try this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin\tlbimp.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSPPT.OLB
to create the powerpoint.dll, office.dll and vbide.dll files.
