Running a macro

PowerPoint 2003 Windows XP
Little story first - I am trying to create a quiz (Blockbuster) for two
teams. I need to make a shape change colour. One click to change to Yellow
and then double click to change to red this will allow the teams to see
which questions they have right.

Created the macro - and then assigned the action setting (on click) to a
text box I have in the shape. Works fine when I run it when not in slide
view but won't do it in the presentation.

Anyone any ideas - haven't got a clue on how to get a double clik to work.
Set the macro security to Low by the way. Any help would be appreciated.

You'll need to post the macro code but referencing objects in slideshowmode
needs different code to in edit mode.

You are probably trying to .Select the object which you cannot do in
SlideShowView. You can change the color by referencing the shape and
not selecting it.
