Can anyone help me with this com thingie??

What I want:

  • start a "master"-ppt as a continues slideshow
  • during show check for existence of updated "master"-ppt in a specific dir
  • if exist then load a "busy updating"-ppt, put this to the foreground and stop the "master"-ppt
  • Update the "master"-ppt
  • if copy done then load the "master"-ppt, put this to the foreground and stop the "busy updating"-ppt
Question is how to start the ppt as a slide show. All I know is to create an object with createobject(PowerPoint.application) and that's it.
Now to load a ppt and play it...
Any reference to information is welcome too!
