Powerpoint files

Print Post Print Post  
In my programming, I had a statement calling for a powerpoint program as a visual aid to our molding operation.  With the latest version of powerpoint, there are now files that have the ".pps" extention and the ".ppsx" extension.  My programming has the .pps extension as part of the @ASynchShell statement.

Is there an easy way to call powerpoint files with any extension?  I thought of putting two statements back-to-back, but i thought I'd get an error message on the first one.

Any ideas?

You can check for the existence of the first one and if it exists call that, otherwise call the other one.

I'd say generate the name using the .pps extension. If that doesn't exist, just add an x.

I used a couple of If FileExists() statements and it worked great.  If the file doesn't exist, the command to open the fine is not invoked and the error message doesn't occur.

Thanks for your help!
