At the end of the presentation, after exiting, the PP Viewer2003 'open'
dialog box pops up. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? thanks -jim

If you use a playlist, the Viewer will close when it exhausts the list. But,
like other programs, if you open the Viewer and then open a presentation, it doesn't close just because you have finished with the presentation. It stays open to give you the opportunity to play another presentation. -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials "usterra" wrote in message news  At the end of the presentation, after exiting, the PP Viewer2003 'open' dialog box pops up.

Sonia,
The viewer autoruns without any input from me (unlike PP97) so there should be a playlist. Thats why I don't understand why I get the dialog box after I exit.

It doesn't work that way for me. Did you let Package for CD burn the CD? Can
you open NotePad and then browse to the CD and open the playlist.txt file? What is listed there?

I had PowerPoint copy the presentation to a folder on my hard drive and then
I Burned it to CD with Nero. The playlist.txt simply says: main menu.pps When the presentation ends, the dialog shows all my files on the CD listed from the CDROM drive. jim "Sonia" wrote: It doesn't work that way for me.

Is it a Windows Explorer window, or is it a PowerPoint 2003 Viewer dialog box?
I can't replicate this. "usterra" wrote in message ... I had PowerPoint copy the presentation to a folder on my hard drive and then I Burned it to CD with Nero.

Does it work any better if the file name has no spaces?

I tested that too, and the Viewer dialog doesn't appear when the presentation is
closed. The new Viewer isn't like the old one. It doesn't have a problem with spaces in the filename. I guess they coded it to read until it finds a valid file extension followed by a space instead of the old DOS mentality of seeing a space as a delimiter. "Kathy J" wrote in message ...
