Macro to open Powerpoint and paste ranges from Excel - Troubleshoot error in code

[onthegreen03]

Hi -

I have some code that I copied from other users on line which opens PP (Procedure1) and then copies and pastes ranges from Excel (Procedure2) into that PP. When I run the code below it opens the Powerpoint no problem but it breaks down in Procedure2. Can someone help me figure out what needs to be fixed in Procedure 2 so that it copies/pastes the selected range into the PP opened in Procedure1? The code breaks at the "Add a slide to the presentation" step. Hopefully this makes sense. Many thanks for your help!

Sub RunAllMacros()
Procedure1
Procedure2
End Sub

Sub Procedure1()

Dim objPPT As Object

Set objPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
objPPT.Visible = True

objPPT.Presentations.Open "C:\users\migreen\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Blank.potx"

End Sub

Sub Procedure2()

Dim rng As Range
Dim PowerPointApp As Object
Dim myPresentation As Object
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim myShape As Object

'Copy Range from Excel
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:C12")

'Add a slide to the Presentation
Set mySlide = myPresentation.Slides.Add(1, 11) '11 = ppLayoutTitleOnly

'Copy Excel Range
rng.Copy

'Paste to PowerPoint and position
mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=2 '2 = ppPasteEnhancedMetafile
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)

'Set position:
myShape.Left = 66
myShape.Top = 152

'Make PowerPoint Visible and Active
PowerPointApp.Visible = True
PowerPointApp.Activate

'Clear The Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

inacreditável & obrigado!

Worf, you are a master of your craft. I can't thank you enough for your time and efforts. The macro is a work of art and works beautifully. I'll try to not contact you again but I hope you don't mind if I do should I need some help down the road. Thanks again.

Yes, that is a problem...

Hey Worf. You likely will not remember be but you helped me back in 2016 with some Excel to PP coding, which turned out great by the way. I am trying to copy that old code into a new file but am having issues getting it to work. If you get this and have a few seconds let me know and I'll send you the exact issue. Thanks.
