Hi,<br />
<br />
My requirement is to have a Powerpoint presentation run in jhe background of a work canteen. &nbsp;I want to &nbsp;put files (Powerpoints and image files) in a particular folder and have Powerpoint loop thru and open each file, import and display them in a looping slideshow.<br />
<br />
Everynow and again different files will be placed in the folder and I want to dynamically insert them into my looping presentation.<br />
<br />
I'd expect this to be done through VBA coding. &nbsp;I am experienced in Excel &amp;&nbsp;Access with VBA coding but not with Powerpoint.<br />
<br />
Has anyone done anything similar in the past?<br />
<br />
Thanks
