PowerPoint & VBA = Free Fishing Trip!

I am working on an interactive PowerPoint presentation that includes a mulitple choice test at the end. I have vba setup to create and print a slide. The sub "What's my Grade" tallies up the number answered right and wrong correctly and vba creates the slide. The problem is twofold: 1) the slide will not print, and 2) the slide is blank. It just says "results for___" and nothing. I have beat my head on the wall all week with this, even comparing other presentations I have done that work the same way. No luck. Any assistance will be appreciated. Free fishing trip in Nashville for anyone that can help!

Hi and welcome to VBAX :hi:

Fishing in Nashville... well it might be a while before I'm over that way but here goes:

In your Sub printablepage() you've mis-typed a '*' for a '&' [VBA]"Question 38: " * answer38 & Chr$(13) & _[/VBA]
Unfortunately I can't tell you why it won't print - it's fine here (I don't have a printer connected but it previews and print out OK). Are you getting an error or just nothing spooling to your print queue?

Well 50% there... I guess I'll need to bring my own bait
