Hi there,
I've been trying to embed powerpoint slides in a webpage. That is, I don't want to save the powerpoint as web page and then publish it. I'd like to show a slide as a object or iframe in my web page. The reason is that I have no control over the powerpoint files, it's stored in the server, loaded by other users.

So I'd like to use ASP to dynamically put a slide, depending on the site content, different accounts, for example, to the web page, together with other non-slide information related to that account.

I'm thinking of using iFrame, like this:

<iframe src="http://......theSlideShow.ppt"></iframe>

And then use ASP to code the src

<iframe src="<%=thePptFileName.ppt%>"></iframe>

I'd just like to know if this is the right way to do it, or if there's a better alternative, like using the object tag.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me advice!

J.

if this works, i would go with it.
I looked into something similar a while back and it was just
easier to publish the slides. Although i was in a position where i had access to PP files and had that ability. Showed the users how to
publish the files, so that there was always a updated copy available.
