How can I create and open a PowerPoint doc?

[michaelbramante]

I can't even get this to work!

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function OpenPPT()
    {
        var objPPT;
        objPPT = new ActiveXObject("PowerPoint.Application");
        objPPT.Visible = true;
        objPPT.Presentations.Open("C:\Users\PDAdmin\Desktop\POWERPOINT_FORMATS\Templates\ClassicPhotoAlbum.ppt");
    }
    </script>

...yes there is a valid presentation at this path...no nothing happens at all.

I'm assuming you are using IE.

You may need to change the type in the script tag, because ActiveX is not JavaScript. I think "text/jscript" might be fine. I'm not too sure about the actual syntax - I'd have to check that up.

In line number 7 use "\\" instead of "\" then the ppt will be opened.
