Powerpoint VBA: Event programming OR using Timers

[David Vaughan]

Hi everyone

Is there a way to link VBA code to an event in Powerpoint during the running
of a presentation?

Alternatively, can I use a timer? - wait a while and check if the
presentation has reached the point I want. A timer feature exists in Access
forms and as a control in VB, but I can't find it in Powerpoint

Thanks in advance

Regards

David

Dear David,

PPT 2000 has events to use. PPT97 not.
If used PPT97 yoy could use a timer which fires a macro, or start PPT is an
OLE-object in Excell and use the OnTime function of Excel

With regards

David, That's even easier

None

Looks like if you are forced to use PPT 97 you are left with ActiveX
timers.

What a nuisance! - I look forward to using some of those excellent events
when working in Office 2000, but for this one I am still looking into it!

Thanks

Dave
