Hi everyone,

This might be a strange question, but I thought I would ask you as I couldn't find information anywhere else.

I'm looking to do some programming on MS PowerPoint. I have a presentation, but I would like to add some functionality to it. For example, I want to record when a person clicks on an image, as well as how many times a person ends up in a certain slide (i.e. ever time s/he views Slide 8).

I would also like to remember the person's choices. For example, if this person clicks on 4 images from a pool of 8, I want to be able to display those 4 images later on in the presentation.

What would be the best way to do this? Will VBA let me do this or is it too complicated? Also, could I do this with AppleScript?

I realise that I may have to code an actual application to do this, but I was hoping that PowerPoint would work as it is much quicker and easier, as this is for a quick prototype.

I have Office 2008 at home and Office 2004 at work, so if VBA is an option that is fine, I can do this at work.

Help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!
