Yes, I followed those rules. As a test I just moved the lot (PPT + =
AVI) in the same folder) from one place to another on the same computer =
- and it couldn't find the AVI file - it got stuck in a locating the =
file loop.
cheers

Everything in the same folder before you insert it into your =
PowerPoint presentation. Everything in the same folder when you move it. =
Does the AVI file play by it's self on the new computer?

I reguarily insert movies from file (wmv) into Powerpoint 2000. =
So I am=20
very familiar with the limitations and vagiaries such as having to =
use an=20
absolute address that must be shorter than ca 128 characters. And =
that if=20
you move the presentation ensuring that the movie file is in the =
same folder=20
as the presentation. etc.
Now I wish to insert an AVI file as a Video clip using Insert =
Object. This=20
works fine when you don't move anything. But I need to transport =
it to=20
another computer so the absolute location will not be the same. Do =
the same,=20
or similar, restrictions apply to this process as do for the movie =
file=20
situation? If not what constraints do apply. My first attempt at =
moving=20
the presentation and video failed - the video couldn't be located.
Guidance would be welcome.
TIA
