I'm trying to delete some slides with a web browser control and some command buttons, but when I hit the DELETE button, I'm getting this message: "Powerpoint can't start this feature because you currently have a Visual Basic for Applications project in break mode".

What I have to do to delete such slides? I tried deleting the slide module in VBA window, but couldn't do it also.

have you tried Alt F11 and then Run >Reset and then trying to delete?

Thanks John!
Run > Reset is dimmed when I select the module. I could solve the issue using the slide reset option in Powerpoint.

Let me ask you a question: what VBA books (or tutorials) do you recommend? Mu goal is to use VBA in Powerpoint and Access, mainly. At the moment I'm studying the second edition of the book Powerful Powerpoint for Educators, but it seems to be very limited.

There really aren't any good books on PowerPoint vba. David Marcovitz is a friend but I agree the book is limited. The best way is to look at others code from ourselves, PPTools and Shyam Pillais site and work out how they work!
