Do not want Save dialog box after each slide

T

I have created a presentation for that has lots of ActiveX textboxes,
checkboxes and radio buttons. As soon as I make an entry in a textbox or
check a checkbox or radio button, I get a dialog box asking if I want to save
the presentation. I get this after each slide. I have macros that move data
from one slide to another such as counters and information for a certificate
that prints at the end of the presentation, but at the end of the show, I
don't want to save anything. What can I do to prevent the Save dialog box
from appearing yet still enterinfo or check boxes?

Not sure of your application, but the following line of code tricks
PowerPoint into thinking the presentation is already saved and doesn't ask
when closed:

ActivePresentation.Saved = True

Bill,

Thanks for the info. However, that did not seem to help. It's not the Save
dialog box when closing the presentation that is a problem. If I do not make
an entry in a textbox or check a checkbox or radio button, but just go thru
the presentation, I have not problems. The instant I enter info in a
textbox, or check a checkbox or radio button, from that point on, and after
each slide, I get a dialog box asking if I want to save the changes made to
the presentation (I do not). This only happens when I access the
presentation via our LAN here at work using hyperlinks. The presentation is
on our staging server. I don't have the problem if I donwnload the
presentation or otherwise open it from my hard drive. I am running Windows
XP Professional edition. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks again.
