:puzzled: hi  
Does any body know how I can make a powerpoint presentation to open on the user side? the powerpoint is on the server and it should be pps and not ppt (a closed file)  
this is what i did now:

```auto

on (release) {
 getURL("Presentations.ppt");
}

```

it opens a window for **save** or\*\* open,\*\* the open doesnt do anything and the save downloades it on the users computer. but this is an open file and a closed file which ends pps doesnt do anything

???
