Custom Action Button affecting multiple slides

[Keri in Vermont]

I have a Custom Action Button on slide 3. When that button is pressed a text
box appears (lets call it "A"). Slide 6 has a Custom Action button that
makes a text box appear (lets call it "B"). What I need, is for when the
Custom Action button on slide 3 is pressed, not only is "A" activated, so is
"B" (there will also be "C", "D" etc.). How do I do this?

If you are saying that "A" and "B" are on different slides this can only be
done if you write vba code. If they are on the SAME slide then one button can
trigger many actions

YES. "A" & "B" are on different slides. I have buttons on each slide that
when pressed trigger namy other things happening. Could you please assist
with the code? I haven't used vba code in PowerPoint. How do you
differentiate slides? Does the code [Shape 46].visible = true work in
PowerPoint like it does in Access?

Thank you.
