Re: Run a macro in PowerPoint with Action Settings

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

That makes sense. I'll need to modify the code abit. How about getting the
app to close after the email marco runs? That way the user can click the
'yes' to allow outlook to send the email.

any suggestions on code?

Jo

Public Sub SendMail(ByVal mail_to As String, Optional ByVal _
mail_cc As String = "", Optional ByVal mail_bcc As _
String = "", Optional ByVal mail_subject As String, _
Optional ByVal mail_body As String = "")
Dim strParameters As String
Dim strCommand As String

' Compose the parameters.
If Len(mail_cc) Then strParameters = strParameters & _
"&CC=" & ReplaceSpecialCharacters(mail_cc)
If Len(mail_bcc) Then strParameters = strParameters & _
"&BCC=" & ReplaceSpecialCharacters(mail_bcc)
If Len(mail_subject) Then strParameters = strParameters _
& "&Subject=" & _
ReplaceSpecialCharacters(mail_subject)
If Len(mail_body) Then strParameters = strParameters & _
"&Body=" & ReplaceSpecialCharacters(mail_body)

' If the parameters aren't blank,
' replace the initial & with ?.
If Len(strParameters) Then Mid(strParameters, 1, 1) = _
"?"

' Add the basic mailto command.
strCommand = "mailto:"; & mail_to & strParameters

' Send this to ShellExecute.
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", strCommand, _
vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

Almost certainly you have written / recorded a macro that wont run in
slide
show mode (The object model is quite different)

Either post up your macro code or what you want to achieve.

within the Slideshow. (The Run program, and Hyperlink to, etc.
work,

the macros). Please help. I need this soon. Thanks
