Ending PPT Show

[Guest]

I am using VBA Scripting and want the page that prints the test results to be
able to end the show. As it currently is, if the Start Again button is not
pressed the slide that creates the printable test results is not deleted and
is displayed the next time PPT is started. Any ideas?

You have a few options. One thing that you should do is put:

ActivePresentation.Saved = True

at the end of your PrintablePage procedure. This will make PowerPoint think
that the presentation is saved so it won't ask. You could also put:

Application.Quit

at the end of the PrintResults procedure to quit out of PowerPoint. These
are a couple of things you can do, and there are probably a few other things.

If anyone else is trying to follow this cryptic question and answer, Jim
appears to be doing something based on Example 7.9 from my Web site.

Jim, you have the advantage of us here. We can't look over your shoulder to see
what you're seeing where you don't even have to look over a shoulder to eyeball
the project.

What Start Again button? And what should cause a slide to be deleted?

You'll need to explain all this in more detail and post examples of the code
you're using.

Ah! Thanks!

Thanks David I will try that. It looks like it is going to work. I have
another question I will throw out to the crowd. On my interactive PPT
presentation I put together, I have linked a wrong answer button to a short
video. The video plays fine. How do I get it to automatically go back to the
PPT presentation after the video ends?

I don't know the answer to your question. If you don't get an answer
soon, try posting again in a new thread with a subject line that relates
to this question. The people who know this answer might not be reading
this thread anymore. While you are posting a new thread, be sure to
include some details such as what version of PowerPoint you are using and
what kind of video you are running.
