How can you name a slide and then refer to it by name in a hyperlink?

Hi,
I want to set up a hyperlink to another slide in the same presentation. The problem is that the slide I want to refer to is in a different position each time a new presentation is set up. I think I have named the slide using the following:

Code:

---

.Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
.Name = "StartSlide"

---

But when I try and refer to the slide by its name in the hyperlink (as below) the link is not created so it doesn't work.

Code:

---

With .ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
    .Hyperlink.SubAddress = "StartSlide"
End With

---

Is there another way that this should be done?
Thanks in advance.

The Hyperlink.SubAddress is a string like this:

"SlideID,SlideIndex,SlideTitle" You cannot use the Slide Name.

Example would be "257,2,My Slide"

Wouldn't the SlideID and SlideIndex change each time depending on the position of the slide? Is there anyway to refer to the slide even if it changes position in different presentations? Maybe using tags?

The SlideiD should never change.

If the SlideIndex changes the iD takes preference and so the link will work even if the slide is moved to a new position.
You probably do not need to specify the title.

So, to create a link to the CURRENT slide 2

Code:

---

With oshp.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
    .Action = ppActionHyperlink
    .Hyperlink.SubAddress = CStr(ActivePresentation.Slides(2).SlideID) & ",2,Title"
End With

---

OR more generic

Code:

---

With oshp.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
    .Action = ppActionHyperlink
    .Hyperlink.SubAddress = CStr(ActivePresentation.Slides(2).SlideID) _
    & "," & CStr(ActivePresentation.Slides(rs_AbsolutePosition + 1).SlideIndex) & ",Title "
End With

Thanks to provide good information and i am searching from many times.
