The SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office might fail to execute a prompted stored process in Microsoft PowerPoint. This problem occurs if you use VBA to insert the stored process. Specifically, in release 5.1 and later, the prompt dialog box is not displayed and the stored process does not execute.

To correct this issue, apply the latest hot fix to the 6.1_M1 release of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, and then add the following line to your VBA code:

    Application.DisplayAlerts = ppAlertsAll

For sample VBA code, click the Full Code tab in this SAS note.
