I am getting the error code "Method of 'Open' of object 'Presentations' Failed on the last line of code before the End Sub:

Private Sub MonthlyToplinePPT()
' Opens Presentation.pptx


Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.Visible = True
PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Topline\Topline Writeup.pptx"


End Sub

Any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Try this:

Code:
Sub openppt()
    Dim PPT As Object
    Set PPT = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
    PPT.Visible = True
    PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:=[COLOR=#333333]"C:\Topline\Topline Writeup.pptx"[/COLOR]
    Set PPT = Nothing
End Sub
