I'm trying to find out if there is an equivalent of Excel's OnTime
event for PowerPoint 2003; I would like to call a subroutine at a specific time of day.

I'm not sure if there's an equivalent to OnTime, but here's another option. You can create a macro that calls that subroutine, then create a Windows Scheduled Task to call that macro like so:
"c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\POWERPNT.exe" /M myfile.pptm "MyMacro"

Bingo! Very clever, that's a pretty good way of doing it. Wonder why that isn't built in functionality, though.

Good question. On the other hand though, this way you don't have to leave Powerpoint open all the time just to run a subroutine once a day.
