So, what happens if line 8 (`my $ppt = $PowerPoint->Presentations->Open('C:\Users\sumit\Desktop\test\Presentation1.ppt');`) fails? You really do need to check for errors after trying to open files, you never know what might have happened unless you check. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply] [d/l]

++Old Gray Bear I knew I was missing something when I posted my response but I guess the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.	[reply]

CustomDocumentProperties is a property so access it as such. `my $Powerprop = $ppt->{CustomDocumentProperties};` There may be other issues with your code but I stopped looking when I got to that line. shrug	[reply] [d/l]
