Hi.

I have created a CD ROM which has an autorun file which loads an index.html file. I want users to be able to click on a button and load a powerpoint presentation but RUN IT IN POWERPOINT.

So far if I connect the button to the ppt file it opens in Internet Explorer which doesn't give the same functionality.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks
Bruce
