By "startup" folder, I am referring to a specific location that the user has copied the global PowerPoint template that we provide for creating presentations in a format that all can use. Not every group uses the same location. In Word, we got around that by using "application.startuppath" in the macros. I don't know if there's a way to do something similar in PowerPoint or if we have to specifically set up the macros for each possible location using an IF statement.
