Answer 1

Hi,

You don't need visual basic to do this. You can right click on a any picture or button and add a hyperlink to the object/. Just browse to the file you wish to open. Then, when the presentation is running, if you click the object the file will open.

One way to do it in VBA is the hyperlink method, This is from PowerPoint help:
Using the Hyperlink Object
Use the Hyperlink property to return a hyperlink for a shape. A shape can have two different hyperlinks assigned to it: one that's followed when the user clicks the shape during a slide show, and another that's followed when the user passes the mouse pointer over the shape during a slide show. For the hyperlink to be active during a slide show, the Action property must be set to ppActionHyperlink. The following example sets the mouse-click action for shape three on slide one in the active presentation to an Internet link.
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
.Action = ppActionHyperlink
.Hyperlink.Address = "path or url goes in here"
End With

Put the file path to the document in the quotation marks.

Answer 3

you're no longer particular on your question, yet you could in simple terms ought to create a label field and placed a quantity in there. while you're showing a variable, dim it as an Integer, no longer a double, to come again out as an entire quantity and not a decimal.
