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.

Thanks. I will try and get this to work.
can i have this textbox copy a name that is typed into it onto another slide. kind of like hyperlinked.
How does this work? is this powerpoint normal textbox or vba forms textbox?
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.
