MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Powerpoint Rolling date
Hello, we just installed a PC screen in our employee break area that has a rolling presentation of whats going on in the plant and our HR manager changes the info once a week. My question is there is a page that displays a date (How many days without a lost time accident) and we have to go and change it every day. Is there any way we can get it to change with code like access? Check out this site. http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00081.htm  SignatureGlen (TD-DTP) It''''s cold up here in Toronto...

Kind of depends what your coding skills are and how much time you want to devote to it. :-) I suppose the easiest way would be to create a "tag" for the presentation to store a bit of information in. Use the OnSlideShowBegin function to capture today's date and store it to the tag. Each time the presentation is ran compare today's date with the stored value and increment a counter (n=1+1) and then display the count on your slide. If you are not familiar with VBA you might go to the MS web site and search for a file called "vbapp10.chm". It has the entire PPT object model and examples of how to use each feature.
