when I try to run a macro assigned to a link in a slide show mode I receive
the message
"PP cant start this feature because you currently have a visual basic
applications project in brake mode"

???
the macro is a double back stroke and one forward

thanks

That'd be "break", not "brake" mode, but PowerPoint does indeed slam on the
brakes when it runs into a VBA error, so I'll buy either term.

My guess: you were editing the macro, it ran into an error at some point
and the editor went into break mode (which lets you do some
editing/debugging without completely stopping the macro).

Switch to the VB editor and click the square icon button next to the run
button or just press Ctrl+Break to stop it.
