Hello dear helpers,
When I try to rename a userform to a name which I have used before, but since Removed, I get the “Path/File access error” error message. It seems to me to be a bug in Powerpoint, and maybe other Office programs, but I am new to Powerpoint VBA and am open to suggestions.
I am doing this to use one userform as a base for the structure of further userforms.
The only reports of this error happening which I have been able to find on the web are all Excel based and refer to closing the workbook and Excel and restarting Excel. How do I get around this in Powerpoint (365)?
My test process is:
--Restart my computer, then open PowerPoint with a new, blank presentation.
--Open the VBA editor.
--Insert a userform (‘UserForm1’) into the VBA forms.
--Save the presentation.
--Rename ‘UserForm1’ as ‘My_Frm’.
--Save the presentation.
--Save userform ‘My_Frm’.
--Remove ‘My_Frm’
--Insert a userform (‘UserForm1’).
--Rename ‘UserForm1’ as ‘My_Frm’ ===> the ‘Path/File access error’.
Thanks in advance, Phil.
