Hi everyone, I need some help.

On Powerpoint, would it be possible for me to enter a start time for a movie
on one slide, then when I go tot eh next slide, the movie plays at the srat
time I want?

So on slide 1, I enter the start time of the movie to be played on slide 2.

Please help me, this is really important!

Thanks very much,

Tom

I think this would be possible in some way. It might be easier to not go
to the slide until the appropriate time (possibly using code to go to a
dummy slide and then at the appropriate time jump to the correct slide
which automatically plays the movie). This code waits 5 seconds:

Sub Wait()
waitTime = 5
Start = Timer
While Timer < Start + waitTime
DoEvents
Wend
End Sub

But it could be modified to wait until the clock is at a certain time.
