Embed VI in MS Powerpoint, and Then Click on to Run it from Powerpoint?

Is the above doable?  If so, how?  (Am also willing to create .exe and embed and run it instead of VI but VI is first choice).
Thanks,
Don

Don,
I got Powerpoint to launch an executable of a (somewhat) large program by changing the Action Settings (of a plain text box) to "Run program" and selecting the executable.  The only thing ugly is that you get a warning about the dangers of opening files.

    Sorry for late reply i was not at work
    I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
     Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
     Probably it is a bug in excel
    Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
    It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

    I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens.  I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

    Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my  Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

    Is the error message displayed in Firefox or in IE, or in a customized window that doesn't identify the browser?
    ''If it displays in Firefox:''
    It's possible that the Troubleshooter doesn't work correctly unless IE is your default browser. You could test that possibility by having IE make itself the default and testing the Troubleshooter again.
    ''If it displays in IE or embedded in another Microsoft application:''
    In a web search I found these suggestions:
    (1) Reset your Internet Explorer settings, according to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_7/cannot-view-xml-using-xsl-style-sheet/ccfe80c6-c0db-4594-a7e3-475f9eac0e85
    (2) Try the System File Checker, according to http://ask-leo.com/why_do_i_get_the_xml_page_cannot_be_displayed_after_running_a_microsoft_troubleshooter.html
    Any luck?

  • So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    so im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

    Have you opened Photoshop or any other Adobe app that Bridge works with?  You need to do this if you've upgraded PS or just signed up for CC.

    Really Good One .... I resolved my problem from outlook for open the files.
    Try it now....
    Similar to the previous post, I resolved by doing the following:
        1. Open REGEDIT.EXE and go to Edit -> Find... In the Find dialog box type "OutlookSecureTempFolder" without the quotes and locate that registry key.
        2. That key will contain the actual folder location, and will look like:
           C:\Documents and Settings\%USER_NAME%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK#\ (where # is a random letter or number)
        3. Copy the location of that folder.
        4. Click on Start -> Run... and paste the folder location from step #4 then click OK.
        5. Windows Explorer will open that folder. Please, delete all files present.
        6. Restart Microsoft Outlook and you should be able to open your attachments.

  • ITunes freezes after a sync and then clicking to disconnect

    My iTunes is behaving very strangely lately.  After I've done a sync (with my iPod Nano 6th gen), which works fine, and then click the disconnect button iTunes locks-up.  It displays the spinning beach ball but never stops and I can't quit iTunes without a forced quit.  On top of that, if I try to restart my Mac, my computer will not restart/shut-down etc. without a hard stop (pressing the on-button until it turns off).
    In addition, just this week I been getting a message that say "The selected movie won't play on your display", "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)".   This may be an unrelated issue but if you have any thoughts let me know.
    Help!  Any ideas as to what this may be?  I've already tried to reinstall iTunes again (latest version).  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.
