Solved: text box to text box

[srainbol]

I want to enter a value in a text box on one slide and have it appear in another text box on another slide.

Good Afternoon.

To do this, you'll want to use the TextBox_Change Event.

From the first slide , double click the TextBox. This will open the VBE (Visual Basic Environment) and create a TextBox1_Change Event. This event only pertains to the one TextBox you created.

Inside this event, you'll need to specify the Slide Number and second TextBox to change. Below is a very simple example. There is a TextBox1 is on Slide 1 and Slide 2.

[VBA]
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Slide2.TextBox1.Text = Slide1.TextBox1.Text
End Sub
[/VBA]

Obviously, using this method, you can modify it to change Labels, etc. as well.

Hope that helps.

Have a look here.

NOTE:The method above is NOT reliable Slide1 and Slide2 are the names of the Slide ActivX container they DO NOT relate in any way to Slide numbers 1 or 2.
