Prod1.1: Cannot Open Presentation in a Frame (329360)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint 2002

This article was previously published under Q329360

SYMPTOMS

When Producer queries its own top-level frame, Producer may query the top-level frame of the parent frame instead. This may occur if Producer files are embedded in another frameset. The top-level frame of the parent frame may be in a different location from the top frame that is spun by Producer. The result is that when Producer places a presentation in a frame, it cannot find its own associated media files.
