I am using applescript to call a vba macro inside a powerpoint file.

Everything was working fine in Mac OS X Jaguar, but the minute I
installed Panther the following applescript line no longer works:

do Visual Basic "Application.Run \"FM_Import\"

It returns "Error -1708".

Does anyone know how applescript in panther can call a vba macro?

I have called apple, microsoft and filemaker and no one has any
answers?

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not answer, but... I want to do the opposite. How would
one call an AppleScript from within Word using a VBA script?
