I'm probably misunderstanding your question too. ;-) But I was responding to this: ========= Source: ((_PresentationImpl) presentations.item(new Variant(1))).getWindows().item(new Int(1)).activate(); I thought that this piece of code should work alsways since there has always to be a least one presentation and one window but there is an exception thrown in getWindows since count is zero?!? ============ I'm probably mistaken, but it looks like you're referencing Presentions.Item(some_number) But if there are no presentations open, there can be no Presentations.Item(anything) My Problem > is that if I start 2 instances of my application (each one contains an > ole container with and powerpoint presentation) only the last started > instance reacts to any commands. So I want to activate the first > instance to be able to exectue methods on this one. > > So I wrote a method which identifies the right instance (ole container > with presentation) and now I have to activate this one.
