Use the following example from the VBA help file for FollowHyperlink:
This example loads the document at example.microsoft.com in a new window
and adds it to the history folder.
ActivePresentation.FollowHyperlink _
Address:="http://example.microsoft.com", _
NewWindow:=True, AddHistory:=True

No need for VB, just select an object (text, drawn object, etc.) and create
a hyperlink for it.

As Austin said, you don't need to do anything special (especially if you
don't mind typing in the address). For example - open PowerPoint; on your
title slide, click inside the title placeholder and type the following
(notice the "space" at the end): "www.pttinc.com ". The space added to the
end recognizes it as a URL address. Go into slide Show Mode, click the
link, and you have just gone to my site (sorry for the advertising).
Clicking the "X" at the top right closes IE and takes you back to your
presentation.
Hope that helps!

Ah. I was going to suggest that, but I assumed you had a reason to do it
with code. Of course, you can hyperlink to anywhere without code, but if
you need to conditionally link or link and do some other things, then
you'll need the code.

I assume from your response to Austin that you are all set with doing
this without code. Shout back if you need to do this with code.
