Hi. I'm working to consolidate several pptx files updated weekly into a single powepoint file one, for printing ease, and two, for archiving.
These source pptx files are housed on a shared drive and updated by numerous people. Most files do not contain links but there are some that contain a significant number of links in them that links to other files on shared drives I don't have access to.
I've attempted to use the InsertFromFile method to bring the slides in. Works great for those files not linked, but the source files that contain many links, locks up the macro and the application.
Is there a way to insert these slides without the links trying to update using InsertFromFile, or do I need to take a different approach by opening each file, running a sub routine to break links and then copy them into my consolidated file? Any help is appreciated.
