insert a powerpoint presentation into access

[ecalvert47462]

I have a database that multiple users open and enter data in on a weekly basis.

I have a powerpoint presentation that shows instructions on how to use the database for the users.

I would like to insert the powerpoint users guide into the main form so the user can click on it and read the instructions.

I am working in access 2010...

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a network location to store this power point?


I use this for a website stored on a shared drive

Sub Help1()
Dim Hlp As InternetExplorer
On Error Resume Next
Set Hlp = Login("\\wdcxxxxxxx\xxxx\xxxx\xxx\xx\xx\Quickstart.mht", True)
End Sub

But you could have it do this instead...

sub Powerpoint

Shell "start powerpnt.exe "Location of file you want to open.""

end sub

that just runs cmd that opens a specific file.

My minds eye sees a "help button" that when pressed will run the code above to open the powerpoint document. THIS way, if you update the powerpoint... you don't have to update a ton of users.

And if that works, marked as solved and give me reputation!
