Hi Everyone, I'm trying to use an ESRI MapControl in a PowerPoint slide via a VBA macro. When I use the AddShapefile or AddLayerFromFile method to add layers, I get the following error at runtime: Method 'AddShapeFile' of object 'IMapControlDefault' failed. The syntax I'm using is: Me.MapControl1.AddShapeFile "C:\mywork\shapefiles", "cities" I tried it with a backslash after the path and a ".shp" after "cities" but that didn't help. I also tried my luck with AddLayerFromFile but no dice. Does anyone have other ideas about how to get it to work? Thanks
