Use ActiveX in Powerpoint 2007

[Nick Morris]

Hi,
I am making an kiosk interface for a class using PowerPoint 2007, so that the visual quality is high. I have added in some ActiveX text boxes and combo boxes to allow the user to submit data. This data I am extracting to MS Access. My issue is that when the user inputs data, I need to erase this data after all the slides have been viewed (end of slide show) and basically reset the slide show so that the next user will have blank boxes and will be able to use the system. Simply starting the slideshow over will not work because the data is now entered into the boxes. Is there some sort of timer to implement and have that reset the slide show to a saved version or the original once the user has seen the final slide for say 30 sec? Please help.

After the slide show ends, you can close the presentation and reopen it,
effectively losing all changes that were made to the presentation and hence
the data filled in the boxes will be lost.

Nick is having the same problem as I , only mine is with option buttons.
Would this work for me if I used osh.OLEFormat.Object.Value = 0?
