Guest AT and HMB Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I have never been able to open PPS files in OE. Yet when I save these files I can open without any problems using windows explorer. Attempting to open in OE gives message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel". The Tools, Folder Options and File Types is correctly set for PPS files files to be opened by the Powerpoint reader. Hence there is no problem with Explorer. Help please.
