Results in last page.

[Mark]

Hi All,

I'm making a test in PP. I'm tallying the score at the end and would like
to display it on the final page. How do I get the results in the page? In
access I'd do something like myTextFieldOnPage = cnt +1. Thus displaying the
results in the myTextFieldOnPage. In PP I don't see where I can name a text
box.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mark

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I think the examples from chapter 7 of
David's book will be of help to you:

If you have problems, post back with your version and code, and I'm sure one
of the coders will be able to help.

Thanks, Lucy. I believe, Mark, that Example 7.9 does just what you want.
However, earlier (simpler) examples also might be good enough for your
purposes. You have a couple of choices: you can display the results in a
text box on the slide (like Example 7.9) or you can display the results as a
pop-up MsgBox (like the earlier examples in Chapter 7).

Hi David,

Also, Thanks Lucy! 7.9 is the example I've been working off of. The only
issue I have is with it is the "ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=6,
Layout:=ppLayoutText)". I'm trying to make this where they can add, or
delete questions without having any code added. So, I'm making a templete
with just two selections (VB) Right or Wrong. Then at the end I want a page
showing the results. In the example the Index is hard coded at 6. With them
being able to add or delete questions then I'm not sure what number it would
be. Is there a way to get the count of pages then pass this on? Or, just
make a normal page with the required info?

Mark
Thanks for the help David (all)!

Aha! You didn't get to Chapter 8 of my book (or the examples in Chapter 8
posted on the Web site). You want Example 8.11. To quote from my Web site:

"This is a simple multiple-choice and short-answer quiz that creates a
printable page with all the answers chosen; it is just like Example 7-9,
except it uses arrays to keep track of answers so the only VBA that needs to
be changed is for a short-answer question and only one try is allowed for
each question, from pages 139-142"
