Solved: Trigger Existing Custom Animation By Code

[Ian47]

Please Help! I have been trying to achieve this task for days now.

PowerPoint 2003

The problem is as follows,

I have some slides on which I have created Custom Animations which are triggered by Clicking on particular shapes. That bit was simple.

I also need to be able to execute or trigger these same animations using code, So that I can call the code from a menu, or another slideshow for example. Is this possible or should I stop trying right now?

I have tried to get round this by using code to duplicate the Custom Animations but each time I make a 'Text Box Appear', or 'Change the Text within the Text Box' for example, the slide animation restarts from the begining of the slide again - not what I need.

Any help would be greatly welcomed,

Ian

Solved this one myself with work around.

Had to remove the 'shapes' which I needed to animate from the main timeline. This stopped the animation replaying everytime I changed or modified the shapes.
