hallo newsgroup,
hope that this is the right place to post my problem.
from powerpoint i start a excel workbook, that contains a project
plan. to calculate start and end date of project steps i use the
analysis toolpak function "networkdays". usually that works fine, but
if i start excel from powerpoint with vba (i want to import status
information in a powerpoint presentation), the analysis toolpak
function does not work. (the analysis toolpak is visible in the tools/
add-in dialog). after disabling the dialog and enabling it one more
time manually, the function works fine.
any idea?

thanks in advance

Couple of things to look at but not sure if it will help.

There are 2 Analysis ToolPak addins. Analysis ToolPak and Analysis Toolpak -
VBA. Have you got both selected?

Another thing in Power Point in the VBA window. Menu Item Tools - References.
Scroll down until you find Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library. Check the
box and OK. (Ensure you check the box; not just highlight the line)

You probably need to manually install the ATP addin when you create the
instance of VBA.

xlApp.AddIns("Analysis Toolpak").Installed = True
