How are you getting the command button to run the code though? It would only work in slide show view wouldn't it?

In PowerPoint, how can I define both &quot;default file location&quot; and &quot;default filename&quot; through VBA.<br />
<br />
I do &gt;&gt;&nbsp;NOT &lt;&lt;&nbsp;want to use the &nbsp;&quot;Tools | Options | General&quot; to set the default location.<br />
<br />
Essentially, the spreadsheet (.POT) would be used by multiple individuals... they all have to save it to the same location with the same filename (thus replacing existing files in the default subfolder).<br />
<br />
Ideally, there would be a macro button on the slide (.POT) ... once clicked the content of the .POT would then be saved as an .PPT without them even having to specify name/location.<br />
<br />
Also, once the .PPT has been saved, the command button/macro button should be removed from the .PPT.<br />
<br />
Is that doable? &nbsp;If so, how can this be done via VBA?<br />

PowerPoint Default File Location

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
