When you move a slide that contains an ActiveX control from one PowerPoint presentation to another, you may receive the following Microsoft Visual Basic error message:

System Error &H80040201 (-2147220991). Unable to obtain server's security context

This error, however, does not keep the control from working.

WORKAROUND
If you move the slide to another presentation with the same page size, you will not get the error.
