What if they (the someone) was viewing a 'copy' of the same presentation.

Can you write the code to make the 'copy' that people view?
So you can edit the original - it gets made into a copy every 15 minutes.
So you can always edit the original - and people view the copy

I have PowerPoint saving a slideshow to the company network every 15
minutes.
Problem: if someone is viewing the slideshow when it tries to update, my
whole process fails. Question: is there anyway to overwrite a slideshow
while it is open? is there any alternate solution or way around this?

thanks
scott
