hey.. i've done two presentations in powerpoint, when i finished , i saved them as PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Slide Show, that the user will not be able to edit them, just to watch them.

everything is fine, but when uploaded them on web at some site, my friend tried to download the first slideshow, and it worked as i wanted,
but when he downloaded the second slide, he told me that the buttons don't work!!! , it's much like watching without reacting, cauze these slideshows are quizes, and i saved them the same extension (*.ppsm), and the first worked fine , why???

-

p.s. - i used developer buttons , not shapes...



NOTE - THIS SECOND SLIDE WORKS FINELY ON MY PC, BUT WHEN I UPLOADED IT ON WEB, AND THEN DOWNLOADED IT, IT DOESN'T WORK...

THATS WIERD!!!

Hi, i am wondering if you have found a solution yet, as i am having the same problem?

By default PPT 2010 opens files from the internet in "Protected View" which is basically Read Only. If you open a pptm there will be an option to allow edits, if you open in a show (ie a ppsm) this option never appears and edits are blocked

Your code will be trying to edit the show in some way and won't be allowed to do it!

If the user right clicks on the downloiaded file > Properties there may be an option to Unblock
