How do I import Access data into forms on PowerPoint slides?

[Guest]

I'm trying to set up data fields within a series of PowerPoint slides to
display data that I want to import from an Access table (or Excel worksheet
if that's an easier approach).

The following site has info on an Office KIOSK. The downloadable file is no
longer available on the site, but I have it if you are interested. If so,
send me an email:

Depending on what you need to do, there's Bill's suggestion, then

There's data that you copy/paste special, link from Excel into PPT; it updates
itself each time you open the PPT

There's our Merge add-in (info/free demo at http://merge.pptools.com) that lets
you merge data from Excel into PPT slides/presentations, much as you'd merge
data into Word docs via mailmerge. It creates static slides/presentations ...
if the data in the Excel or other file changes, you'd re-merge to do updates;
the slides wouldn't "track" changes in the source data as they would with
links.

There are other add-ins that do related tasks ...

is a good one to look up.
