I am runing a small VB (6.0) application within a powerpoint presentation.
The VB program makes changes to a visual that I display to the user. The
user moves objects around the background, but upon completion - does not want
to save any changes.
When leaving the VB routine - the system wants to save the changes made to
the visual and prompts for a save. I wish to disable this question and never
save the changes.

I don't know how to get around this? What can I disable??

The last line of code on the last macro run during your presentation should
be:

ActivePresentation.Saved = True

This makes PowerPoint think that it is already saved so it doesn't ask.
