VBA macros Powerpoint compatibility problem
We experience problems with Visual Basic macros under Powerpoint
These macros have been developed with Powerpoint 2003 and VBA 6.1. When executed with this environment, no problem. Problem is when we execute them on Powerpoint 2007 and VBA 6.1 or 6.3. Any idea for fixing this comptability problem ? Extract of VBA code and error code: ActiveWindow.Close ActiveWindow.View.Paste VBA error 80048240 on View.Paste View (unknown member) : Invalid request. Clipboard is empty or contains data which may not be pasted here I've tried to apply what is recommended in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/285472?p=1 but without success. I am quite a beginner in VBA and really don't know to debug that. Let me know if you want to see these macros and I'll send you. Thanks for your support Jean-Luc (in HP Grenoble France)

VBA macros Powerpoint compatibility problem
Hi,
Have you confirmed what is the active window when you try to paste? Are you trying to paste on the slide? If you know the location of the paste location have you tried alternate approached like using ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Paste? -- Regards, Shyam Pillai Handout Wizard: http://skp.mvps.org/how.

Thanks for your reply.
The sequence is the following: ActivePresentation.Slides.Range.Copy ActiveWindow.Close ActiveWindow.View.Paste Paste works on PP2003 and not on PP2007 But this VBA code seem quite obscure to me Let me know if I can send you the whole code.

VBA macros Powerpoint compatibility problem
Hi,
I can repro the problem with your code. The code basically assumes that the view in which the presentation is in will accept the pasted slides. While this may have worked in PPT 2003, you need to ensure that the current view can accept the pasted contents. For example you cannot assume that the activewindow will accept the contents of the Paste operation. ActivePresentation.Slides.Range.Copy ActiveWindow.Close 'Since you wish to paste slides, switch the view to slide sorter or you can also activate the thumbnail pane ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter ActiveWindow.View.Paste -- Regards, Shyam Pillai Handout Wizard: http://skp.mvps.org/how.

VBA macros Powerpoint compatibility problem
Hello,
As proposed, I added the line ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter before pasting. and this fixes my problem on PP2007. I am now able to run properly the concerned VBA macro. I plan to run other macros in the short term. Is it possible to find somewhere the known compatibility VBA issues between PP2003 and PP2007 ? Many thanks for your efficient support.
