Macro not running

[palex]

Hello,
I have one simple macro that is not running when the graphic is clicked in presentation mode (nothing happens upon click). The action settings for the graphic are set to "Run macro" and its name. Macros are enabled, and the code is simply:


Sub asub()
Dim a As Integer
a = 25
MsgBox "a=" & a
End Sub

The macro runs when I select Tools --> Macros --> Run macro

Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

Anyone have any ideas? I am clueless as to why nothing happens when I click the image in presentation mode.

Works fine for me in PP 2010

Delete the .zip part since .pptm files can't be uploaded for some reason

As of today, PPTM files may now be uploaded

When you mouse over the graphic in show mode does the cursor change to the hand icon?

John -
Yes, I do get the hand icon, but nothing happens upon click. This is still a mystery. I can get it to work initially, but then if I save it in .pptm format, close the file and reopen it, it no longer functions.

By the way, I'm using PowerPoint for Mac 2011.

Thanks so much,
Paul

Solved it... The problem was that there was an exclamation point in the filename!

I should have spotted that. It also applies to PC files and I had seen it before but forgotten that the ! has a special meaning in vba.
