The entire module partially works. If I run Sub CreatePowerPoint it generates a PowerPoint presentation but it does not insert the slides form the hyperlinks in the excel sheet. Same with InsertSlidesFromFile. Any thoughts. We are so close.

I did have to add Dim vFile as I was getting some errors. So here is the new module:

Option Explicit

Const sPath$ = "C:\Users\marty\Documents\"

Sub CreatePowerPoint()
Dim vList, n&
Dim vFile

vList = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A5")
On Error GoTo Cleanup
'Automate a new instance of PowerPoint
With CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
.Visible = True
'Add a new presentation
With .Presentations.Add
'Insert the slides into the presentation
For n = LBound(vList) To UBound(vList)
.slides.InsertFromFile vFile(n, 1), .slides.Count + 1
Next 'n
End With '.Presentations.Add
End With 'CreateObject
Cleanup:
End Sub

Sub InsertSlidesFromFile()
' Inserts slides from a list of PPTs stored in a txt file
Dim vList, n&
Dim vFile

vList = Split(ReadTextFile(sPath & "auto.txt"), vbCrLf)
On Error GoTo Cleanup
'Add a new presentation
With Application.Presentations.Add
'Insert the slides into the presentation
For n = LBound(vList) To UBound(vList)
.slides.InsertFromFile sPath & vFile(n), .slides.Count + 1
Next 'n
End With 'Application.Presentations.Add
Cleanup:
End Sub

Sub InsertSlidesFromFolder()
' Inserts slides from a list of PPTs stored in a txt file
Dim vFile, n&

vFile = Dir(sPath)
On Error GoTo Cleanup
'Add a new presentation
With Application.Presentations.Add
'Insert the slides into the presentation
Do While Len(vFile)
.slides.InsertFromFile sPath & vFile, .slides.Count + 1
vFile = Dir()
Loop
End With 'Application.Presentations.Add
Cleanup:
End Sub

Function ReadTextFile$(Filename$)
' Reads large amounts of data from a text file in one single step.
Dim iNum%
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
iNum = FreeFile(): Open Filename For Input As #iNum
ReadTextFile = Space$(LOF(iNum))
ReadTextFile = Input(LOF(iNum), iNum)

ErrHandler:
Close #iNum: If Err Then Err.Raise Err.Number, , Err.Description
End Function 'ReadTextFile()
