Hi

I downloaded the PPT EventHandler demo from
http://skp.mvps.org/downloads/pptevent.zip, but when i ran it it
wouldn't execute the macros associated with the clickable shapes.

Currently i have the macro security settings set to medium, but i've
tried to run the presentation with all four security levels - still
won't rung / pp doesn't ask whether i wan't to enable macros or not.

Anyone who might have a solution to this problem?

Best Regards

Matti Winther

The code is intended mainly for use in an add-in where it can be initialized in
an Auto_Open subroutine. Are you trying to use it in a presentation instead?
 
What Steve said and ...

Macros do not run in a zipped file. Windows XP actually allows you to
open a Zip file and run files within it without unzipping, but the
behavior is not always what you want. Be sure that you are unzipping the
file before trying to run it (in Windows XP, you just have to drag the
file or files out of the Zipped folder).
