MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Creating "Shopping Cart" like app with Powerpoint
I have been recently asked by my boss to create a power point application that we can use with our customers. The idea was that we would have a list of items available for sale. We could show them to them and if they were interested in it we could "Click" on a button that would trigger a back end action of storing that Data in a word Doc. For example "In person Training" - Click Here "Web Training" Click Here "Self Lead Training" Click Here When they Clicked they would get an invoice that Read Invoice 1 - Web Training 2 - Self Lead Traing I am looking at using the Action Settings and my thoughts I would have to write some sort of script in the back end to do this, any one have any ideas on how to do this? This can be done with scripting. If you go to my site (http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/) and look at Example 7.9, it does just what you want. It's a quiz example, but it could easily be adapted to collect order information. You might also want to look in the "More Tricks" section for first trick, which actually writes to a file (not a Word file but a file that stores the information). If I were to do this for your purpose, I would probably change things a bit and use forms to collect the information, which a more natural interface for entering the kind of information you want, but I don't have an example like that. --David  SignatureDavid M.
