navigating between Office programs

P

PeterK

Is it possible to move between PowerPoint and other Office programs? eg, can
you put a command button on a PowerPoint slide so that when you click on the
button you display a Microsoft Access read-only file, which in turn has a
button to return you to where you were in the PowerPoint display?

I have Office 2002, SP3.
I know programming code but only at a very basic level.

Cheers.

in powerpoint you can draw a shape, say a rectangle (autoshape)

right click it and choose
"action settings"

then you can say to powerpoint... "on mouse click" do something

such as "run a program"

or "hyperlink" to a file, so linking to an access file (assuming your file
associations are all hunky dory), would open access and the file.

quitting from access would return you back to powerpoint from whence you
came
