Count non-hidden slides in Powerpoint macro

Hi all,
I'm using ActivePresentation.Slides.Count in a Powerpoint macro to return
the number of slides.

Unfortunately this gives me the absolute total number of slides, including
hidden slides. What I'm looking for is the number of visible slides.

Is there a property that returns the count of visible slides, or the number
of hidden slides so I can subtract it from the total count?

Any info appreciated,

Mark I

This isn't the best group to ask in, since your question is dedicated to a
particular Office product. Unfortunately there's no specific group for
PowerPoint programming like there are for other Office apps. We usually
direct people to the main PowerPoint group.

As a guess, I'd look for a property on the Slide object itself (or whatever
it's called) that tells whether it's hidden and then loop through all the
slides and count the non-hidden ones. I doubt there's a standalone property
that does what you're looking for.

DAO record count, How did it work without move... This works also and this is what I originally had in DAO which I've been slowly converting to ado and hopefully doing all my queries with sql. But I don't have the movelast trick in here. Maybe I've been using DAO incorrectly? -Len = vbHo
