ppt 2003 - can't perform operation as project is protected

Hi

I'm using ppt 2003

I am trying to use the ppt on this webpage

http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2006/10/drag_and_drop_i.html

which is to get drag and drop in powerpoint. I can't seem to work with the ppt as i get an autoevents error saying can't perform operation as the project is protected. when i open it i get this error and it seems to slow down my computer to a level i can't work with too.

Thanks

I should point out I also followed the instruction in the ppt to set macro security to medium but i still get the autoevents error

It should work in 2003 but note it is broken in 2010.

There's a different (similar) method here which you might like to try. (also broken in 2010 though)

PS Since there are no autoevents in the Drag n drop macro maybe you have another AddIn installed throwing this error??
