Powerpoint or Visio?

Hi,

I'm not really a vba beginner, but I'm not that familiar with vba in ppt or visio. I have a project to animate a site plan showing location of mobile equipment around the place. The location of the stuff is held in a database, and when the location changes, I need to animate it moving from one location to another on the plan, which will be shown 24/7 on a pc screen.

It can be done in ppt, I think, by showing continously a slide, and refreshing it and then triggering the movements. Would it be better/easier to do in Visio?
Is visio vba the same as ppt vba? By that I mean is there an object model and could it be animated? Which would you use?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
