Thanks Paul,

I changed it to:

tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
do Visual Basic "ActivePresentation.Export Path:=\"Macintosh HD:Users:rickdavis:Desktop:presentation_name\", FilterName:=\"tif\""
end tell


Works like a charm. A follow up question. Is there any way to set the path according to the name of the active presentation? I'm hoping to add the script as a folder action, then drop a collection of presentations into the folder to create a series of slides in a new folder for each presentation that corresponds to the presentation name. Then after a delay delete the original presentation from the folder. I've not worked with VBA much but will head towards the VB Help now.

Thanks and Have A Great Day.

Rick Davis
