Arpan,

Then in that case for debugging the code.

Just add the below code in your code

msgbox 1

and check in every line by adding this msgbox.

so that you can find out, on which line you are getting an error.

I used the following:

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TX01").CopyBitmapToClipboard

msgbox 1

When I run the code it opens a blank presentation that't it and doesn't display the message box. Also it highlights the ActiveDocument....code.

In the PowerPoint presentation itself, check to see if any objects pasted as blank white objects, then check "Keep Source Formatting" in the object properties. Sometimes this will help objects render in Power Point when the formatting is altered by PP.

I have been ablet o get the above code to run without a hitch in my environment. Make sure to

hit Ctrl + Shift + M in the application and grant System Access, or Ctrl + M and grant System Access under both drop downs.

Hey everyone !

I get the same error "ActiveX component can't create object: 'Powerpoint.Application'" when I use a macro.

From what I've read, Powerpoint has to be installed on the same server that the one which has the licence i'm leasing, is that right ?

Because, I've installed powerpoint on the server where I developped some application. The licence I use is rent from another server.

Thank you for your answer
