MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Registration Form in VBA?
Has anyone here ever had a program that lets you try the free version until you buy the full version? You get a serial code that you have to enter to unlock the full functions of the program. I want to have something like that in my game. -------------------------------------- I want the user to click a Command Button It then looks for a text file in the same directory as the ppt. It checks the txt for the exact code "vi5riwehrv8n323yr32y3v8Hq34yvb" if the txt file says something else it will take you to slide 3 (Free Trial) If it does say "vi5riwehrv8n323yr32y3v8Hq34yvb" then it will take you to slide 2 (Registered) -------------------------------------- Somewhere else in the ppt i want to have a text box and a command button. If the button is pressed and the text field says "2473 4729 4734 5923" then it should alter the txt file (or save over it) with a new text that says "vi5riwehrv8n323yr32y3v8Hq34yvb" If the text field has something different written into it then it should show a message saying "Try Again" -------------------------------------- Any Help at all would be great! Even links to some tutorials would be great as well. Thanks! This seems pretty easy with VBA, but I'm not sure how secure it would be. You might want to include tests at other times in the game to make sure they didn't find another way to get to slide 2. If you go to my site: http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ and click on "More Tricks," you can look at the first couple of examples that involve writing information to a text file. Reading and writing the info to a text file seems like the hardest part. The rest is a simple IF statement. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Try this sort of thing (make sure text file has only one line) Sub checktext() Dim checkserial As String Dim sFile As String Dim Ifilenum As Integer sFile = "C:/text.txt" ' change this to suit Ifilenum = FreeFile() Open sFile For Input As Ifilenum Line Input #Ifilenum, checkserial If checkserial = "xxxxx" Then 'do whatever Else 'do something else End If End Sub SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > Edit: It worked exactly like I want it now all I need is some code that > checks the txt file for the "Magic Numbers" and determines which slide to go [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > > > > > > > > Thanks!
