This is very frustrating, first lines of programming Powerpoint VBA after a long while ....

Please help this is killing me Writing a small sub connecting to an action using name test

Sub test()    
MSGBOX "this is  a test "  
end sub

I placed this in a module I just created and it works
I copy the same test in named as a module and it does not work any more ....

I'm trying to make PPT connect to events to do things on a per slide basis ..... using google.... this worked a few times ... but now nothing works any more. The simple test above fails since I renamed the module.

As I further change the second routine to test1() ipv test

None of the macros can be executed any more (module1 NOT CHNANGED) Module NAME..... contains the same code, except test1() ipv test. ... now all macro processing stops

the color of text changes (as is clicked on it) but nothing gets obviously executed. Are things that unstable recenty in VBA for powerpoint 2010

how did I run:

  • connect to empty slide using 3 lines
    • test 1
    • test 2
    • test 3
  • on each of the lines I defined an action for each in different modules

  • run:

    • Go into slide show and on the first slide just click.... color changes but nothing happens any more

Saved all closed restarted .... simply refuses except on first created pptm
