I am trying to write VBA which will allow dynamic excel ranges to be exported to (possibly) an intermediary file (open-minded about file type) and for these ranges to then be linked to a PowerPoint presentation. Currently, the intermediary files are PNG pictures but the print quality of the pictures of ranges is very poor. A straight link to an OLE object within PowerPoint isn't possible as the ranges change size and shape and the data is refreshed several times during the process. This breaks the link.

I have tried exporting the ranges to an intermediary excel file with one sheet per range and then having these ranges pulled into PowerPoint on refresh by looping through each OLE object and trying to recreate a link... but unsuccessfully.

Pressures of time creating the presentation mean manually recreating the links each time is not a viable option. Can anybody offer any help with my solution or suggest any others? As always, the simpler, the better.
