1. VBA - Activate a PowerPoint presentation in a specific Excel windo 

I am trying to solve a problem where a presentation object is embedded in a 
second window within Excel. When I double-click on the object in the second 
window, it is activated in the second window. Note that the slide show is set 
up to run in a window. 

When I attempt to automate via Object.Activate or OLEFormat.Verb, the slide 
show always jumps to the first window regardless of the fact that the second 
window is the active window. 

I am currently using the 2002 version of Office. It would be nice to get it 
to work witnin VBA, but no luck so far.

3. Activate Excel after opening PowerPoint from VBA Excel 

I am creating a tool in Excel to copy data/graph from 
Excel to PowerPoint.


Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation

Set PPApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
PPApp.Visible = True
Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Open(ppt_file)
....


At the end of the code, I put:

ThisWorkbook.Activate
Msgbox("You have finished running the tool")

But it seems the screen still focuses in PowerPoint, so I 
have to manually switch to Excel to see the msgbox. How do 
I change the screen to the Excel file instead? Or, is it 
possible to create the msgbox in PowerPoint instead?

Also, I put Application.ScreenUpdating = False in my code, 
but it seems it onlhy works for Excel?  


Thanks for the help
