Thanks for your help on this tough problem. I am using the SHDocVw.WebBrowser in a dialog to view mostly pdf's but also powerpoint and xls and word docs using setwintext. It works great for PDFs. I can load Powerpoint files as either "Presentations (.ppt) or Shows (like kiosk-mode - free viewer) just by changing file extension of .ppt to .pps. But the only problem is that every time I change slide, a dialog pops up
I have read online and many people describe this problem...mostly with online excel spreadsheets.
One solution I read was to make sure the folder is "read only". THe location I am using IS "read only"
Another suggested this won't work because the WebBrowser control copies it to a temp location which is considered "new".
I can't use a window trigger to the window because it may be in executable.
Any thoughts.
If web browser control doesn't work, is there a different type of dialog window that can be used to show office documents (and pdfs).
Thanks!!
Stuart
