Cell color in native powerpoint table

[Rob]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way that I can change the color of a (native
powerpoint table) cell programatically based on a user input. We develop a
slide show for customers and on each slide (amongs other information) is a
table with the results of five tests. Rather than changing each slide (up to
100) manually I was hoping to do it automatically.

I had thought about doing it two ways
1. A user form with the test results available as drop down box (the results
are simple numbers). I expect that this would be the easiest way as I can
create the table based on info in the form, or
2. Respond to change of data in the cell. This would be my preferred way as
it is more intuitive for my users. I do not think, however that it will be
that easy to implement.

Any help, advice or guidance appreciated,
Cheers
Rob
