I adapted my PPt to include the Action buttons you refer to. @ on the master slide setup as follows – Forward goes to “Next Slide” and Backward goes to “Last Slide Viewed”. I then added Action buttons on each slide to navigate to appropriate pages and saved it as HTM. No matter how I navigated the BACK or FORWARD button for for Internet Explorer would never be an option. The Backward button on the master slide correctly went back to last slide I came from i.e. if I came from 1 and was on three I would return to 1 not 2. BUT lets say I navigated as follows 1>3>2 then at slide 2 pressing Backward (from the Master slide) would take me to 3 but pressing it again would take to 2 (not 1) and pressing again would goto 3, so the loop then would be 2,3,2,3.

Can you navigate beyond 1 previous slide? e.g. so if you navigated 1>4>5.>6>9. You could then by pressing a BACK key go all the way back to 1 but in reverse 9>6>5>4>1?

I created a PPT and saved it an HTM and could not get the BACK usable. I noticed that if I already had a web page (say http://www.google) , then saved the PPT as HTM it would use that windows and BACK would be available and after navigating forward within my HTM , pressing BACK took me http://www.google
I am using PPT 2003 and used hyperlinked Autoshapes to goto each slide so we might be doing it slightly differently?

OK, I’ll try from a new prezo as you have and see. Will update with results.

Thanks but I tried the HTM way and the BACK/FORWARD buttons would not activate i.e. greyed out. So I am still needing to track the pages I visited into an array and use that for a reverse navigation.

Thanks and that works but only for 1 previous page. I would ideally want to store each page visited in an array which could then be reverse navigated…much like how a web page navigates. At a nominated point the array could be cleared by a button (or each time nominated pages are visited).

Thanks, I found that shortly after posting this.

For the benefit of anyone trying something similar, all items in the dropdown trigger the same “on action” which is resolved by a function. So , with some assistnace from msdn, the original code is amended as follows,

With cbSuBMnu3.Controls
Set cbSuBMnu31_Combo = .Add(Type:=msoControlComboBox)
End With

With cbSuBMnu31_Combo
For zcount = 1 To UBound(AvailableRequests)
.AddItem Text:=AvailableRequests(zcount), Index:=zcount
Next zcount
.OnAction = “SubMenu31Action”
.Caption = “Form :”
.Tag = “lstPrint”
.DropDownLines = 10
.DropDownWidth = 200
.ListHeaderCount = 0
End With

Function SubMenu31Action()
Dim ctl As CommandBarControl
Set ctl = Application.CommandBars.ActionControl

With ctl
Debug.Print .Tag

If .Tag = “lstPrint” Then

Select Case Trim(ctl.Text)
Case “Create Directory”
MsgBox “The User Chose ” & .Text
Case “Rename existing Directory”
MsgBox “The User Chose ” & .Text
Case “Change access rights”
MsgBox “The User Chose ” & .Text
End Select

End If

End With

End Function

Many thanks Charlotte, I have reviewed your feedback and using ADO I have got it going.

Charlotte,

Many thanks. I am using 97 which is DAO so I will have a whirl and see if I can integrate your valuable contribution.

charlotte,
Are you able to illustrate using code how you make an existing field (e.g. name is “fieldname”) in an existing table (e.g. name is “Tablename”) the Primary Key?

I have been searching for this for a while…

Any guidance really appreciated.

regards,
otk
