That would have been the problem. But something else occurred that may be an issue. I tried creating the EXE and was thwarted. When I went to Save As, the same thing occurred (as in, a brief dimming of the title bar, then nothing). I tried every save mechanism possible to no avail. I finally ended up closing the program. It asked me if I wanted to save, to which I replied yes. It returned me to the program. After several tries at this, I finally said No. And sure enough, it didn't save the slideshow or the parameters. I had to redo it. Perhaps a little code change which checks to see that the project is saved first, asks where you want to save it, and if you confirm the save, then does the create action as requested. BTW, after I'd closed the program and reopened it, I did a save before I rebuilt the project. Then I saved again and ran the Create and all is well.
