Thank you , John.

Great. But , as you've said , it may be not useful.
Anyway, I'll check to see if it is possible.

The only way I know (and its not that useful) is to open another powerpoint
as a different user

eg If you have a user named "extra" from your usual account a cmd line
instruction runas /user:extra "c:\program files\microsoft
office\office11\POWERPNT.EXE" will open a new instance.

Hi,
I want to create multiple instance of PowerPoint by VB6's 'CreateObject'.

Sub Test()
Set p1 = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
p1.Visible = True

Set p2 = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
p2.Visible = True
End Sub

In this case, p1 is equal to p2. This means the number of instance is 1.
I know PowerPoint is the application which does not support multiple
instance.
But , is there workaround?
