Here's a scenario:
A USB key is plugged into a laptop, and a PowerPoint file from that key is opened.

How would you automate saving a copy of that PowerPoint file on the local drive, so when this happens dozens of times, with dozens of USB keys, the opened files are kept on the machine?

So far, the only solution I've found comes very close to doing what's needed and then fails.

If you were on AIM, I'd tell you why for : )

MS Word 2007 actually has this as a setting - it'll automatically copy all remote files you open to a specified local directory!

I was banging my head against a file mirroring solution, but now I'm thinking it might be a job for macros...

Yeah I was just reading about Powerpoint macros. O_o
