Put your macro to Sleep http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00466.htm There are more sophisticated ways of doing it, like launching the bat file and monitoring its window, not proceeding until it closes. But if you know that your bat file will complete in a short time and don't mind waiting a few milliseconds extra here and there ... Sleep's the simplest, most reliable way to get the job done. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/ |
