Slide in Visual Basic

[WTC]

Does anyone know how to run a visual basic code when a certain slide opens.
Like in Access you can have

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

<enter your code here>

End Sub

PowerPoint reserves these events for add-ins only. Look at free Event
Generator add-in at http://officeone.mvps.org/addins.html - it diverts these
events to PowerPoint presentations.

Why do I have to buy add ons to make visualbasic work better with
powerpoint. I bought Office 2003 Pro for this reason. Seems crazy to me.

You don't have to buy anything. The beauty of visual basic is that you can
write it yourself.

If you don't know how, there are places where you can learn. Start here, for
example:

Make PPT respond to events

If you haven't got time to learn how to do it yourself, buying a ready-made
solution can be the most economical in the long run.
