How to simulate ThisPresentation in PowerPoint VBA
Like everyone else I expected a ThisPresentation object in PowerPoint. I thought of another way to accomplish it, without a hardcoded filename. Obviously any piece of code would need to know how to distinguish between the projects. I chose to use the projectname for this (default name "VBAProject" in the Project Explorer): it is not used for anything else, no user will change it and if it is protected they can't.
Here is my code (change MyProject into your own projectname):
Function ThisPresentation() As Presentation
Dim p As Presentation
For Each p In Presentations
If p.VBProject.Name = "MyProject" Then
Set ThisPresentation = p
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
