Re: Removing info from text box once it's saved to a file

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

MsgBox is the easiest, but if you want your own shape, you could use the
AddShape method
(ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes.AddShape) or you
could create a shape in advance and hide it. When the time is right, have
the shape become visible

ActivePresentation.Slides(5).Shapes("SecretButton").Visible = msoTrue

This makes a shape named "SecretButton" on slide 5 become visible. The
code linked to that shape can be to make it invisible again (change True
to False above). However, once you're going this route, you might as well
go back to your original specification and have the shape become visible,
wait 2 seconds and have the shape disappear. Example 8.4 on my site
(http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/) shows how to do the delay.

Thank you very much guys - all works fine! You are the best!

Steve,
I'm sorry if it's too much to ask for, but is it possible instead of
this standard pop-up text-box window, to have my own custom shape
appear with words "THANK YOU.., etc." and button OK to dismiss it?

Thank you,

Serge

Thank you John,

It works fine now. Is it possible to put a pop-up "Thank You" note
appearing for 1-2 seconds when users clicks SAVE, to let them know
that their info is accepted?

Settle for a message that they can read and click OK to dismiss?

Add this:

MsgBox "Thanks a bunch. Loved your answers. Click OK to make me go
away"
