Solved: change text in a textbox with a button

[cookieboi]

hello, i havent really done much with this kinda thing in powerpoint but hey! it should be good if it works.

im trying to make a points table in powerpoint to be used at a youth event. and i need to be able to advance the points by 1 everytime a button is clicked either in the presentation or physically on the keyboard. does anyone have any ideas? i gues im in need of a macro?

thankyou in advance,
James.

Can you post a sample of what the table looks like? I'm sure someone will be able to help you if they see the layout.

its not really a table, its just two text boxes that have one number in it that i want to increase by one when a button is pressed.

if there is a simpler way of doing it, please suggest!

thanks, james.

I made a sample file on how it could be done.
Check it out and see if you like it.

NOTE: This macro works in SLIDESHOW MODE.

Hi, this looks great and its exactly what i was looking for and i can see the macros and stuff but nothing happens when i click the +/- buttons.

Any ideas why??

Thanks, James.

--edit--
no wait it works, i needed to give it access to the visual basics project or something like that

thanks..
