Unsuccessfully trying to open Power Point Viewer
I have an Access 2003 application.I’m trying to open Power Point Viewer 2003 to display some PowerPoint slides, but can not get the Viewer executable to launch from within my Access code.
I changed to the code (using VBA) in development mode to open Notepad and the Calculator executables and both open just fine when I execute the changed code.
I did an install of Power Point Viewer on computer and I can run the exectuable from within the Microsoft Office folder just fine.When I copy the Power Point Viewer executable to the folder I need at another location on C: drive and try to run it, the Viewer will not open.The Viewer executable did not work on a test computer either.
Do I need to run some type of setup in the folder where the Viewer executable will sit?Do I need have some other .dll files sitting in the folder as well?I did not find anything in online documentation for other files that might be needed to make it work.
I thought the entire point of having the Power Point Viewer was to display slides without the requirement that the end user not have the full version of Power Point.
Thanks in advance for your help.
