You must select something to add the hyperlink to before hitting the
hyperlink/action setting option.

Linking to external site or internally to file/slide?
Are you trying to add the hyperlink onto a textbox, button or image?

Details vary based on version. This is a good description of the process
for PowerPoint 2002-2003.
