This will Work: Tested in VBA

Dim PVW As ProtectedViewWindow, Pres As Presentation

Set PVW = ProtectedViewWindows.Open("Full Path ", "Password")

Set Pres = PVW.Edit("modify")

Another Method: Untested

Sub SetPassword()

    With Presentations.Open(FileName:="C:\My Documents\Earnings.ppt")

        .Password = complexstrPWD 'global variable

        .Save

        .Close

    End With

End Sub
