Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub GetTotalPresentationsOpen

' Variable used to store the number of open presentations. Dim Total As Long

' Used to control the loop. Dim i As Long

' Used to build the message box. Dim Message As String

' Determine how many presentations are open. Total = Application.Presentations.Count

If Total = 1 Then Message = "You have 1 presentation open: " Else Message = "You have " & Total & " presentations open: " End If

Message = Message & Chr(13) & Chr(13)

' Loop through the presentations and get the name of the ' presentation. For i = 1 To Total Message = Message & Chr(9) & Presentations(i).Name Next i

' Display the message box. MsgBox Message, vbInformation

End Sub
