Issue opening local pps/ppt/pptx

1 New Member

Hello all.

I'm having some issues while invoking power point from the web. I try to open a power point file or presentation using the following code and my iexplorer6 browser hangs up and goes on a strike. No need to say that the powerpoint program doesn't even execute.
I created a simple power point on root C:/ drive. I created a link to be able to use the startPowerpoint function on click. Everything I try doesn't even open the application. To be honest, something which seems pretty straight forward is not working for me. I tried with excel and word and things work fine but not for power point. Any ideas?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<li id="toplevel"><a href="javascript: startPowerpoint()" style="cursor: pointer;">Go 
 
to Presentation</a></li>
 
<script language="JavaScript">

function startPowerpoint()

{

var myApp = new ActiveXObject("PowerPoint.Application");

var path="C:/ha.ppt";

if (myApp != null)

{

myApp.Visible = true;

myApp.Presentations.Open(path);

}

}

</script>

</html>
