VBA not opening PPT in MAC OS

[Akbarov]

Hello,

I use following code in Windows, works perfectly fine. But when I try to run this code in MAC OS , I get error on this line:

Set pPres = pptApp.Presentations.Open(currentPath & Application.PathSeparator & pptname, msoFalse, msoCTrue, msoCTrue)

Dim pptApp As Object


Dim pPres As Object
Dim xl As Excel.Workbooks


Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sldrange As Object
Dim sld As Object
Dim pattrenSlide As Object

Dim WorkSheetRange As Range

Sub Export()
'both file names and path
Dim wkname, pptname, currentPath As String


'Other Values

pptname = "Template.pptx"
currentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path


'Ópening Powerpoint
Set ppApp = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
Set pPres = ppApp.Presentations.Open(currentPath & Application.PathSeparator & pptname, msoFalse, msoCTrue, msoCTrue)
'Opening Excel
Set wk = ThisWorkbook

I get error on this line

What is the error?

 

[Akbarov]

error: Method "Open" of object "Presentation" failed

Are you sure the template presentation is in the same folder?

 

[Akbarov]

Yes , it is in same folder.

I can't replicate the problem. Depending on where the workbook is, I get a prompt to allow access to the folder (Apple's sandboxing) or the template opens. Is it a local folder, or a cloud-based folder?
