I made a slide show and put a sound file on to play throughout. I then sent this as an email attachment. The slide show was fine but the sound file didnt come on when the recipient ran the slide show. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps you need to embed a sound that has a url - that is to say that the file's path name should be http://www...
Currently it is embedded with a path name that is unique to your computer.
Peace!

did you use some kind of proprietary sound format like AAC or MP4 - or MP3 embedded in a WAV file? Or, even the wrong flavour of WAV... hell, even MP3s themselves won't work in an older version of powerpoint (I know ppt 97 won't hack it, not sure about 2000)
did you embed the sound file, too, or was it saved as a link to an external file? if so you'd have to tell ppt to look for the file in the same folder as the presentation, and then send the soundfile with the powerpoint, and have the recipient download both of them to the same folder (perhaps double checking the link was still ok in the ppt too) before running it.
sound files in powerpoints are annoying anyway, avoid them unless it really, absolutely adds something significant to the presentation.

When you created the power point you associated the sound to the event - this would have pointed to the sound event stored on your computer
when you send the attachment you must also send the sound event
