I am trying to insert some basic activeX controls in a powerpoint  
  
presentation (command buttoms, scroll bars, etc). I also want to include some  
  
code to specify actions for each control (eg. caption changing when button is  
  
clicked). The scripts work fine when I first create the file and run the  
  
presentation. My problem occurs if I save the file and re-open it. Now when I  
  
run the presentation, the buttons don't work. All the code is still there but  
  
none of the code seems to get executed. Not sure what I'm missing.

Have you checked your Tools, Macro, Security settings?  
  
If set to High, your macros will be shut down by PPT, no questions asked.

If you're using PPT2003 you'll definitely want to do Help, Check for Updates and  
  
let it install the recommended patches.  
  
But first, are you testing in SlideShow view (ie, not normal view)?  
  
Are you testing in PPT and not the free Viewer? Viewer doesn't support macros or  
  
ActiveX.

Well, we've moved all the easy ones off the dance floor, haven't we?  ;-)  
  
Can you post a small example that illustrates the problem someplace where a few  
  
of us can download it and have a look?
