I have the filepath and filename of several presentations that I'd like to
open programmatically. How would I do that?

Thanks

Dim sFileName as String
sFileName = "c:\temp\whatever.ppt"
Presentations.Open(sFileName)

Or for all of them at once ...

Dim aFileNames(1 to 10) as String
Dim x as Long

aFileNames(1) = "first filename"
aFileNames(2) = "second filename"
' ... etc

For x = 1 to UBound(aFileNames)
Presentations.Open(aFileNames(x))
Next

This example illustrates how to do for presentations with PPS extensions but
it's the same for PPT too.
