Update multiple powerpoint charts through excel
-1
I have written excel vba script that updates 250 charts in PowerPoint with data from an excel table. The powerpoint has 149 slides and 80 slides have charts. The problem is the script takes ages running and crashes at times. I have tried reducing the chart slides to 20 slides but still no difference. Plus is there a way to save the powerpoint presentation as is instead of saving it as a different file with a different format. Whenever I try to save it as is, I get an error saying the file is read-only. Thanks for the help in advance
Sub updateppt()
Dim myppt As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim mypptslide As PowerPoint.slide

Set myppt = mypptApp.Presentations.Open(FileName, WithWindow:=msoFalse)
'set the worksheet where to retrieve the data from
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(3)
'initialize the counter

'Loop to go through slides,look for charts then update them
For Each slide In myppt.Slides
For Each shape In slide.Shapes
If shape.HasChart Then
Set chart = shape.chart

Set cTable = mypptchrtdta.Workbook.Worksheets(1).ListObjects("Table1")
