Hi Steven,

There are two routes to try to accomplish this. 1) Prevention and 2)
trapping. Both of these will have to be done thru your code in your OCX
file. Since PowerPoint is closed or closing, I would guess that your
control is trying to do something and finds only empty space where
PowerPoint once was. Therefore it throws a system error.

So, either fix the code to check for the existence of PowerPoint first, or
trap the error when it happens. Of course this is all guess work, fixing
code without seeing the code or knowing the purpose is a lot like trying to
fix an unknown electronic device blindfolded.
