Hi all!

Anyone know how to prevent that terribly annoying "Some
files can contain virus. Would you like to open Yes/No?"
message that appears whenever you try to open a linked exe
file?

My current project involves running appications on every
slide (and in some instances 2 or 3), and the client
doesn't really want that popping up 50-odd times during a
presentation to 400 people!

I'm using Powerpoint 2002, Win2k, and tried creating the
link using both the 'Hyperlink' option, and
the 'Actions>Mouse Click>Run Program' option (the latter
of which I read was supposed to prevent this).

Any ideas?!

Any help would be received with the greatest appreciation!

Cheers

Ben

Macro security warning when no macros are present

The above may help, or you may have to turn down your Security settings by
Clicking on tools, Macros, Security, and change the setting to low
