Hmmm.  I've only played briefly with PPT shows in an OLE container, but a 
couple things strike me as worth looking at:

While the container isn't activated, there wouldn't be any instance of PPT, so 
any reference to a PPT object would throw an error.  That's probably obvious to 
you, so pardon my mentioning it.  ;-)

But another point:  PowerPoint is a single-instance application.  You can't 
have two copies of the same version running at once.  How that affects what 
happens to presentations in an OLE container, I don't know, but  .... who 
knows, maybe it's relevant?
