I have a presentation that has a linked animation file. This
presentation is used by others from time to time and occassionally they
forget to copy over the linked files. Is there a way to have message
box pop up that reminds them to also copy over the linked files as they
are saving the file to a new location from within powerpoint. I realize
that if they are just doing a copy paste of the file that nothing will
prompted them.

You might want to try putting an autoshape with a message just off of the
slide that contains the animation reminding them that they need to copy the
linked file. Hopefully they will check the presentation after they copy it
and will stand a half a chance of including the file in their transfer. Hope
this helps!!!
