How to debug the error?
Hi anyone can help me to debug the error? I have tried for few weeks but notable to figure out why.
The function of macro in this file is used to copy the chart from excel to presentation slides. I saved the presentation slides template at desktop and copy the link to the excel macro file.
When running the 1st time macro, it's able to works well. After close the presentation file and re-run again the macro, the error message prompted said run time error. I have no idea how to debug the error. Hope anyone can help me?

How about closing the object and releasing it?
-
Sorry, I do not understand your question. Do you mean close the power point file? I did not open the power point file when execute the macro.

Assuming that strTemplate includes the full path to the presentation that particular error should not occur. As you appear to be using late binding to PowerPoint you will need to use the numeric values of PP specific commands. Without access to the workbook and the presentation I cannot validate the rest of your code, but the following should get you closer to your target.
Code:
Option Explicit

Thanks Gmayor. However, it still stuck at "objPPT.Presentations.Open strTemplate ". The error still said nothing for strTemplate.
attached the error message and the file.

PowerPoint is not my forte however I am pretty certain that the problem is that the template doesn't exist where the sheet indicates. I have therefore trapped the missing file with a warning message.
I am not sure about the slide layout handling of PP so I will leave you to address that, but I have fixed the issues so that at least it shouldn't crash (and doesn't here), provided the template file is present at the named location.

Yeahh!!:yes... finally it's work. Thank you so much Gmayor. :clap:
