| Hi there.Is it possible to convert the Power Point file to SQL Server Version 7 or 2000? My PowerPoint files have no images or pictures, only lyrics for songs that are used in the church during sunday services.I was appointed to make a system in VB6 but my first job is to convert the PowerPoint files to SQL Server. There are 2000 songs in the powerpoint right now.Please help.Thanks. |

Before you drive yourself completely, suicidally insane by trying to write some VB code, try this: save the PowerPoint to an RTF (Rich Text Format) file, then open that RTF file in Word, then save it as plain text. You can try cleaning it up in Word too, basically you want just plain vanilla text data that you can import into SQL Server. It's at least a good start, and probably the only really practical method to get the job done.In case you haven't come to this conclusion yet, PowerPoint is NOT a good, not even a half-assed, not even a REALLY BAD program for storing data. It is the WORST thing in the world to store data in. Notepad is better. The only thing worse than storing data in PowerPoint is writing code to extract it. |
