Question PPTVBA: Item 9 not found in slides collection error.


Getting the error below when trying to change text in a text box on my slideshow.

Essentially I am doing the following
  • Using excel to pull two things, a TITLE, and a TAG
  • I then open two powerpoints. pres1 is my master deck, pres2 is the deck that is created for each unique "case"
  • If the tag pulled from excel matches a slide name in pres1, it is copied into pres2
  • if that tag IS NOT found, I copy a template slide from pres1, add it to the end of the presentation (that works)
  • Last bit of business is to edit the text in that newly created slide to the string DSSTitle
  • See my comments below for where the error below pops up.

Any help would be appreciated



Code:
Option Explicit

Sub CreatePPTSlidesDrew()
Dim CustRow, CustCol, FinalCol, TitleRow As Long
Dim PPTLoc, TagName, TagRow, FileName, TempFileName, ReviewLoc, WebsiteURL, sSlideName, DSSTitle, SlideCount As String
Dim PPTApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim pres1, pres2 As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim objSlide As Slide
Dim pp As Object
Dim objTextBox As Shape

    TempFileName = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DSSWorksheet").Range("comp")

    Set pp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
    With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ReviewContent")

        PPTLoc = "C:\ppt-test\SEE.pptm" 'PPT location
        On Error Resume Next 'If PPT is already running
            On Error GoTo 0 '~~ reset error handling
            Set pres1 = pp.Presentations.Open(FileName:=PPTLoc, ReadOnly:=False) 'Open Template
            Set pres2 = pp.Presentations.Add ' Create new file
            If pp.Version >= 9 Then
                'window must be visible
                pp.Visible = msoTrue
            End If
            CustRow = 17 'Row for review content for PPT files'
                    TagRow = CustRow - 1
                    TitleRow = CustRow - 3
                    FinalCol = .Cells(CustRow, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
                    For CustCol = 2 To FinalCol 'Move Through All Data
                        TagName = .Cells(TagRow, CustCol).Value 'Tag Name
                        DSSTitle = .Cells(TitleRow, CustCol).Value 'Title Name
                        ReviewLoc = .Cells(CustRow, CustCol).Value 'Review Location
                        On Error GoTo dss
                        If ReviewLoc Like "C*" Then
                            On Error Resume Next
                            Set oSl = pres1.Slides(TagName)
                                If Err.Number = 0 Then ' if no error, there's a slide by that name TagName in the main PPT Template
                                    pres1.Slides(TagName).Copy
                                    pres2.Slides.Paste pres2.Slides.Count + 1
                                Else ' slide will be created in the main PPT template'
                                    pres1.Slides("||templateslide||").Copy
                                    pres1.Slides.Paste pres1.Slides.Count + 1

                                    MsgBox "Slide should have copied, and there are this many slides " & SlideCount 'This slide count does come back correctly
                                        On Error GoTo 0
 ' THE FOLLOWING LINE IS WHERE THE ERROR HAPPENS TELLING ME THERE ARE NOT 9 SLIDES IN THE PPT
                                        Set objSlide = pres1.Slides(SlideCount)
                                        objSlide.Name = TagName
                                        MsgBox "Slide renamed to '" + TagName + "'."
                                        Set objTextBox = objSlide.Shapes.Item(1)
                                        objTextBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = DSSTitle
                            End If
                        End If
dss:
                    Next CustCol
                    FileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & TempFileName & "-" & "PowerPoint" & Format(Now, "_mmddyyyy") & ".pptx"

                    pres1.Close
