Works for me as it's supposed to. In Mozilla on any platform the file is downloaded and Powerpoint or Openoffice launches. In IE on Windows the Powerpoint file is displayed just like a web page.
I can't imagine anything that be causing this problem with just Powerpoint files (and not other files).
Anyone else?

These problems with recent versions of PostgreSQL (may it forever be infested with a thousand fleas) should have workarounds in recent versions of Moodle code (Petri keeps updating stuff like this).
I advise you go straight to a recent nightly. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Open a category, then "Import questions from file".
No, there isn't an export yet. It's still new!

OK, there's two things here.
1) Backups in XML format. This is an important feature, and Eloy is currently making a start on it.
See: http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=84
and: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/moodle/moodle/contrib/stronk7/backup/
2) Import/export quizzes
See the latest CVS for the mod/quiz/format directory. It is pretty easy to write new classes to add new formats. There are already stubs for WebCT, IMS QTI, and Scott Elliot recently contributed an exciting new Blackboard module which I unfortunately haven't got around to trying yet. WebCT in particular should be a pretty simple one to write.

Nice one! I'm on that list but missed that post.
I'm very much in agreeance with it (as you might guess looking at this site) ... research as design, design as research.
Lawrie might be lumping together "leading educators" a bit - I know a few excellent teachers who are busy experiencing, designing, improving and helping other teachers around them. However, they don't always publish widely (and even if they do, there is SO much literature out there) so most people never hear about them.
